A closer address is 3541 Springs Rd NE, Hickory, NC.

Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right on the property.

It is still a flea market, which takes up the back half of the drive-in.

The Thunderbird Drive-In opened its gates on July 15, 1971 with John Wayne in “Big Jake”, featuring installations of automated projection with Xenon lamps, stereo speakers, and a 72x32ft terrazzo-tiled concession building.
