Thanks Guys.
The snack bar was in the bottom of the screen tower and served the theatre patrons from the screen side and was open in the daylight hours and served from the street side through windows. There were picnic style tables on the street side. I have pictures if interested.

A 1986 aerial shows the drive-in was totally demolished and replaced by a couple of businesses.
By 2003, the entire area, including a housing edition, was razed. Today, it is all open country with no trace of the drive-in remaining.
