The Anderson Drive-In was located on Highway 32. It opened on July 11, 1947 with William Powell in “The Thin Man Goes Home”. It was soon renamed Anderson Drive-In. It was renamed North Drive-In on August 10, 1951 when Alliance Theatre Corporation opened their South Drive-In (it has its own page on Cinema Treasures). On May 24, 1956 the concession & projection build was destroyed by fire. It was quickly rebuilt and the drive-in reopened in mid-June 1956. It was later operated by Y and W Management. Closed on September 14, 1986, the screen tower blew down in the late-1990’s. Now the site of an auto auction.
