My dad ran the drive in from 1964 till 1988. I basically grew up there. From what I can remember the placed opened up in late 40s. Dad had a Myrtle Desk from 1946. The drive in had to close because of my dad’s death and that attendance was dropping. I have a lot of good and bad memories from that place good times and so much grass to cut. Helped put me thru school. Many back row stories. Now I wish it was still open. Many good people worked there. I can answer questions if asked. Oh, drive in not connected to the one in Bisco. Was owned by White Amusement out of Charlotte.

I am from Asheboro, when I was a kid, we went to he drive in many times. Later, I took several dates to the Drive-in during my senior year of High School 1982 – 1983 time frame. I remember it closing a few years after I graduated and joined the Army. 1985 sounds about right. It was a bit run down back then, but it was still operational. after the movies stopped running, they used the property to hold flea market for another couple of years.

In an aerial photo from 83' this drive-in looks pretty grown over. It also is listed on the topographic maps from 59' and 68', but not 1974. Thinking it maybe closed before 1985?
