Approx. address for this drive-in was 500 Union Road.
jwmovies is right about the address. You can also use Union Road and 500 Ave, Herington, KS. The drive-in sat on the NE corner of the intersection. By 1971, the drive-in was demolished.
Today, it appears to be private property with little remaining save for the faint outline and what may be the foundation of the concession stand/projector booth.
