The Skyway Drive-In held onto a huge amount of incidents during 1975 where a robbery took place including action with a pistol, and in 1977 and 1978 when the theater took all for suitings and claimants.
After closing for a few years beginning in 1977 due to the ownership and the theater filing a suiting, the theater reopened in 1981 but after just 2 years on running mostly not-so-suitable drive-in fare, it closed again, this time for the final time in 1983.
This opened on July 10th, 1949. Grand opening ad in the photo section.
Approx. address for this drive-in was 1125 Rosewood Drive.
It was open in 1975 when I graduated from USC Law School. When I returned to Columbia in 1977, it was gone.
The Skyway I am told by long time Columbians was located right across from the SC State Fairgrounds on Rosewood Dr.
Open 1950-1985?
I know it was open in 1967 and was listed as Sky Way.
It was located near train tracks, if that helps?
Anyone know anything about a Skyway Annex Drive-In 1955?
Could use an address, more info and photos!
