I bet they showed westerns there!
tlsloews,there was a Boot Hill Drive-in,in that city.I ain’t making it up.

Tistletoehead—
I don’t know why I take time to post pictures or information since
you seem to be some kind of an expert.
Of course it showed westerns, cause that is all I cared about as a
boy.
At least I kept everything, and for pleasure for those like you who
know everything I have made available hundreds of pictures for Don’s Flickers.
Check them out, and see how many is real or phony.
If you don’t like westerns, then don’t look, because I don’t look at yours

Panhandle,I am no expert on anything,and how would you know if I do not like Westerns or not?Have a great day Billy.
OK— I am always jumping too quick—my mistake—I only saved western stuff, so that is all about I can ever post—Again Apology Given, and
same to you—have a blest day—
Uploaded an not very sharp photo of the drive-in. It was on Hwy 50 past Matt Down road.
Approx. location for this drive-in is the trailer park off Hwy 50 west of Matt Down. Look for 27th and 28th Avenues.
I have a spooky memory of this drive-in from the 1980’s…my family & I had driven in from a nearby town to see a movie at a Dodge City drive-in. But, apparently, the drive-in we were looking for was the South Drive-In, NOT the Boot Hill Drive-In, which was already a ghost theater then!!! (Though still standing) Imagine, it is twilight and from the distance, this looks like an operating drive-in, but then when you drive up the entrance road, you suddenly find that it is empty and over-grown with weeds….very spooky….
A closer address (at least for Google) is 800 27th Ave, Dodge City, KS which puts it on the property where the drive-in once stood. It’s certainly not the original address, but that does not exist anymore. So, for mapping accuracy purposes, this address works just fine.
A trailer park occupies most of where the drive-in once stood. Today, there is no trace of the drive-in remaining. http://tinyurl.com/kv3eh64
