This is a later drive-in, as the 1955 and 1960 aerials show that the theater hasn’t been built yet but what’s strange is that the property has the fan-shape like what drive-ins have. It was already operating in 1972 but was gone by the early-1980s.

Its address would’ve been about 2518 E. Walnut Avenue, though Google is pretty far off when it comes to placement. The coordinates—34.763703,-84.928908—show its true location.

Mike, Was Calhoun DI owned by Martin any time?
The Wink was a VERY nice theatre.

Dalton is “THE CARPET CAPITAL OF THE WORLD” more than 90% of the carpet made in the world is made within a 65-mile radius of Dalton.

Drive-In open 1950?

Was open for sure in 1967.

Need an address, more info and photos.
