Kirkeby and Erickson opened the Scenic Drive-In in September of 1950. Wondering if this isn’t the same location as the Sky-Lite Drive-In that had opened on May 20, 1948 with Anthony Quinn in “Black Gold” and just updated by the pair with individual car speakers and other more modern amenities. I would guess so.
Agreed with Kenmore, it’s not a screen.
I do not believe the object just west of the original screen is a replacement screen. A 2019 Google Street view shows was appears to be a trailer at that location. It’s difficult to tell because of the vegetation, but that is another reason why I doubt it is a replacement screen.
The overhead Google view shows considerably less vegetation compared to the 2019 street view. Since the land does not appear to have been cleared, I’d say the overhead view is at least four/five years old.
A 2004 aerial photo shows something virtually identical in size, shape, and location just west of the screen, but it is gone by 2010. So, I believe that is a trailer.
