June 5 1958 sees “ALL MINE TO GIVE” and “TO HELL AND BACK”.Near the Dog track,so often losers didn’t catch a movie!
Your location is incorrect. The Volusia Drive In was west of Nova Road, approximately 1008 International Speedway Blvd. (formerly named Volusia Ave) There is a small mall and other stores in the former location. Bethune Cookman is in the 600 block.
PLEASE UPDATE ADDRESS TO 1008 West International Speedway Boulevard.
There was also a smaller D/I @ 501 S. Keech. Anyone have a name?
