Grand opening ad posted. Closed in 1983. Article:
The drive-in was demolished. Only the outline, ramps, entrance/exit roads, and foundation of the concession stand/projector booth remains.
Today, the property is still undeveloped, but completely overgrown with trees. The old entrance/exit roads still sit intact on the south side of a storage facility which was built before the drive-in closed.
