The Starlite Drive-In was opened on June 1, 1952 with George Bernard in “Gobs and Gals”. Costing $85,000 it was operated by Robert Lowrey. It was equipped with RCA speakers and the screen was 54ft x 40ft. By 1955 it was operated by Malco Theatres. It was still open in 1966, but had closed by 1968.

Robert Lowery launched the Starlite Drive-In on East Nettleton Avenue on June 1, 1952 with “Gobs and Gals.”
I do not see any drive-in along East Nettleton Avenue in a 1957 aerial. The Indian Drive-In does appear in a 1976 aerial and it was located along East Nettleton Avenue, but that property was vacant in 1957.
Is there more information on where this drive-in was located?
