Correction: THIS was located where Legacy Gymnastics is now housed.
The proper address for this theater is 2121 Battlefield Pkwy, Murfreesboro, TN 37129. Note: Battlefield did not exist when this ozone was open. Also NW Broad St./ Hwy 41 is several blocks south of this location.
Please update.
Opened on 23rd April 1953 with “Son of Ali Baba”.
This opened on April 23rd, 1953. Grand opening ad in the photo section.
Correction: The 4-Lane Drive-In and MarBro Drive-In both occupied the same site. The 4-Lane Drive-In was demolished around 1963 or 1964, and completely rebuilt to reopen as the MarBro Drive-In on June 6, 1966.
The address referred to by JWMovies is incorrect. That was the correct location for the Starlite Drive-In, also in Murfreesboro.
The 4-Lane Drive-In operated from 1954-1963, and was located on Old Nashville Highway at Van Cleave Lane. It was demolished after the 1963 season due to the construction of the new Nashville Highway, which split the 4-Lane in half.
The 4-Lane was replaced by the MarBro Drive-In, located ½ further north on Van Cleave Lane at Battlefield Parkway, which opened June 06, 1966. Marbro is a shortened version of Martin Brothers, since the drive-in was owned by the Martin Theatre Circuit.
The Starlite Drive-In closed around 1967, soon after the opening of the newer MarBro Drive-In.
Approximate address for this drive-in was 2553 S Church St. Now an empty lot next to the Stones River. Please update.
