1301 N Curtis Rd, Boise, ID 83704.
This is the correct address for this theatre.
This points directly to the freeway off ramp which used to be the drive-in entrance.
Please update.
Boxoffice, Dec. 10, 1949: “Milt Fry … and (Joy) Naylor … are planning to enlarge the capacity of the Boise Drive-In to accommodate 500 cars.”
The Boise Drive-In opened on August 28th, 1947. Grand opening ad posted.
Boxoffice, March 10, 1956: “BOISE, IDA. – Lou Pressler of Seattle has purchased the Boise and Broadway drive-ins here. They were formerly owned by Joy Naylor and the late Milton Fry.”
Another address that works (at least for Google) is 1115 North Curtis Road. The highway sits where the drive-in used to be. http://tinyurl.com/glsofky
There was a drive-in located at the I-184 interchange with N Curtis Rd. It is visible in 1951 aerial imagery. By 1971, the interchange has taken over the property. Not sure if this was the Boise Drive-In, or another drive-in. Maybe someone here can confirm.
