A 1983 aerial shows the ramps and what seems to be left of the screen. By 1987, the screen was gone. The ramps and outline remained until at least 1992. By 2006, it was completely gone.

At the 11E East Hwy address was this place located in the 3630 block. The T shaped driveway on the North side of the Hwy was an old drive-in.

There was a drive-in located at about 3932 US 11E East, give or take a few lots. There doesn’t appear to be any trace of this theater. There was another drive-in at or around 2296 US 11E West. This area is all commercial sprawl now.
