It appears from the 1953 aerial that the drive-in had the unusual arrangement of a small projector booth in the front row.
Of the three entrance/exit roads, the one connecting the drive-in to US Rte. 2 on the south side seems to be the main entrance. A ticket booth and overflow drive is present in that location.
A small structure next to the north exit road may have been where concessions were sold. The east entrance had a gate.
By 1981, the entire drive-in had been demolished and the property razed. Today, there is no trace of the drive-in remaining.
The current address for this theater is 7668 US 2, Rapid River 49878.
Please update.
What did B& D stand for?
7668 US-2, Rapid River, MI 49878 will drop you on top of the Mobil station that is now on the exact spot of the drive-in. A 1953 aerial on Historic Aerials exists of this ozoner when it was open.
