I visted the ruins one time only to find homeless people living in the Box Office.Needless To Say,I didn’t stay long!
Friend in Charlotte shot video that day i was exploring,but have never gotten a copy.he has probably lost the VHS tape it was on.Also shot VHS of the old Fox Drive-in.
Approx. address for this drive-in was 3121 Freedom Drive. The entrance and exit driveways are partially there.
