The correct address is:
Charlestown Pike & Lakewood Blvd Jeffersonville, IN 47130
No … it isn’t. I’m a cartographer. If you want to see the locations of drive-ins in this area go to Wikimapia and use the “historical layer / disappered object” setting.
The more recent aerial that’s posted here has the streets of Foxboro showing. It was just north of the location given. It’s the “ball diamond” shape bordered by Savannah & Gander Drives.
The local GIS doesn’t give street addresses for the Pike in that area. Google gives that location as between 2640 & 2760 Charlestown Pike. That’s as close as I can get. (and Google isn’t that reliable) All of the ads from that period just give a general location and then a “follow the signs”.
You are correct is north of the location given. The reason why I use cross streets is because Google Maps are off some, sometimes by alot. It is close enough for the purpose of identifying the location of the drive-in.
So then it should be Charlestown Pike (historically Charlestown – New Albany Pike) & Savannah Drive.
No … strike that in parenthesis. Just Charlestown Pike.
I have a better address.
2620 Charlestown Pike, Jeffersonville, IN 47130.
Part of the entrance road is at this location.
Please update.
Opened in 1956, closed in the 1980s.
