There are so many supposed to be theaters: D150 at Gardiner Manor, Bay Shore, NY; unnamed Century Theater on Hillside Avenue in Bellerose, Queens, NY; unnamed theaters in Freeport and Lindenhurst, NY; unnamed Century Theater in Huntington Station, NY; unnamed multiplex in Central Islip, NY; etc.. These are just on Long Island, NY of my personal knowledge.
What I have done is mention these on an existing theater on CT for historical purposes.
Though some construction took place, the drive-in never opened. Why is it being listed here? A similar attempt to list was made several years ago, and then removed for lack of factual evidence.
Was that aerial photo of another drive-in tneatre?
Project was immediately opposed by New York City Planning Commission, but construction took place anyhow in belief that lawyers could eventually get permission. But NYC prevailed and International Airport Drive-In never opened. The aerial photo just shows what might have been.
aerial photo from the 1950’s.
