The Slappey Drive-In opened in May 1950. Car capacity was listed at 400. This drive-in was owned by Martin Theatres.
The Slappey Drive-In closed in 1985 and has since been demolished. Any further information on the Slappey Drive-In would be appreciated.

1993 imagery shows the lot right where Dollar General and Wendy’s are at currently. NW corner of Ledo Rd. and Walnut St. A very strange rectangle lot layout.

by the time the mid to later 70s came, slappey drive-in showed a lot of double and triple billings of B to C movies. a lot of extra soft porn, spaghetti westerns, and older stuff. still, it was a lot of fun. saw ‘ghost and mr chicken’ here. at some point in the later 70s there was a fair amount of boozing and dope smoking going on during the shows.
boozing and dope going on at the Drive-in,a dangerous mix for theatre employees.
Odd name(drive-in and street(Boulevard)!)!!
