A 1956 aerial shows the drive-in intact complete with a fence that ran along the perimeter of the drive-in, save for the back. By 1968, that fence was gone and the drive-in appears closed.

By 1983, the concession stand/projection booth was gone but the screen was still standing until some time before 1993.

Today, although nothing was built on the drive-in itself, the topography has changed considerably. There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.

It looks like it was closed (No screen tower) in 1970 by looking at a aerial from the same year.

I must confess. My pals and I did stop up off of Kaylor Road more than one summer evening.

Approx. address for this drive-in was 1025 Middletown Road. It is an empty field as it was behind where the garden center & the car wash are located now.

You need to get your facts straight, It ran until 69 and was run by Walter S. Finch Jr.This is where I learned to run movies from Walt’s brother Claude Finch. I was there till the end, may have even been early 70’s.
