When the Motion Picture Almanac refreshed its drive-in theater list for the 1977 edition, Hatton’s Starnite was still there. It showed a capacity of 200 cars, owner Brandhagen.

Yes The Theater Opened In The Late 1950’s. The Earliest I Can Find Information About It Is A Showing From April 1959.

The official address for the business on the site is 902 Dakota Ave however as noted above it doesn’t map correctly.

A closer address is ND-18 & Jersey Ave.

A 1965 aerial photo shows the drive-in intact and appears to be operational. The drive-in was still intact in a 1981 aerial. But a 1990 aerial shows it was demolished.

The entrance to the drive-in was on Jersey Avenue, but at this time does Google Maps cannot provide an exact address.

Today, the property is home to Hatton Storage. But you can still see hints of the ramps on the property.
