The Theater Closed In October 1952. It Wasn’t Listed In The Daily Tar-Heel Throughout 1953.
Chapter Hill Then Never Have A Single Drive-In Until October 14, 2020 When A New Drive-In Theatre Opened For The First Time At The Carraway Village Area According To WTVD Channel 11 Which Will Have Its CinemaTreasures Page Soon.
Grand opening ad in the photo section.
The only drive-in west of Chapel Hill was on NC-54 at the intersection of Carrie Road, which is visible in 1950 and 1955 aerial photos, but is not visible in aerial photos from 1961 or 1964. I believe this drive-in closed sometime after 1955 and was demolished by 1961.
The drive-in was roughly 3 miles west of town on the north side of NC-54. An aerial photo from 1950 has been uploaded.
There was no drive-in visible on Old Greensboro Rd when looking at aerial photos from 1950, 1955, 1961, and 1964.
NC-54 runs parallel to Old Greensboro Rd, so the description in the above heading might have been a mistake.
The new address as confirmed by aerial photos should be:
NC-54 at Carrie Rd Chapel Hill, NC 27516
