A closer address is 1800 Douglas Ave, Kalamazoo, MI.
This puts it right on the property.
The drive-in was still mostly intact in 1999, but by 2005 it had been completely demolished.
Today, IHS Distributing sits on the front (west) part of the property while the rest is undeveloped. However, there is no trace of the drive-in remaining.
The marquee for the distributing company sits at the same location as the drive-in marquee. But the old base for the drive-in marquee was fully removed.
