Found It!
The address is Woodview Drive, Monticello, KY. The drive-in was located north of the city along Old HWY 90.
Today, the property is an empty field with little indication that a drive-in was once present. However, the foundation of the projector booth/concession stand is still there. http://tinyurl.com/h4mj8ys
A closer address: 1242 State Hwy 3106, Monticello, KY 42633.
This points directly to the where the theater stood. Concession building foundation and part of the entrance/exit roads are still visible.
Please update.
Google Maps and Historic Aerials keep putting you too far north, but a short scroll down can find the property. If you go into street view you will also discover that the marquee is still there covered by shrubs.
Here is the correct address:
Old Hwy 90 at Woodview Dr Monticello, KY 42633
The Stardust Drive-In opened its gates on October 12, 1950 with Walt Disney’s “So Dear To My Heart” with no extra short subjects. What’s very unique is that the Stardust Drive-In was originally operated by the city’s mayor at the time, Carl Huff.
The theater closed in late-1981 and was demolished on May 30, 1985.
