Motion Picture Herald, May 8, 1954: “Mr. and Mrs. U. Walker, owners, have finished their new Skyvue (sic?) drive-in, Winona, Miss., which opens next week.”
Its Actual Grand Opening Date Is July 18th, 1953. The Winona Drive-In Theatre Is Located A Few Blocks Away From Hoover’s Feed, Farm, And Seed Store And Was Advertised On Its Grand Opening. I Can’t Find The Opening Attraction.
Thanks much!
A closer address is US-51 & Gum Branch Rd, Winona, MS. The drive-in sat on the northwest corner of the intersection.
A 1960 & 1964 aerial photo shows the drive-in intact, but by 1980 it had been demolished.
Today, the property is an empty field with traces of the outline, ramps, and foundation of the concession stand/projection booth remaining.
