A closer address is 4220 Lincoln Street East, East Canton, OH.
The main entrance for the drive-in was on Lincoln Street and this address puts it right on the property.
Although most of the property is undeveloped, the only traces of the drive-in remaining are the entrance road which is now used to connect a few businesses to Lincoln Street, and remnants of the exit road which connects to Trump Avenue.

Last season: 1988 per newspaper listings.
The approximate address for this theater is 350 Trump Ave SE, East Canton, OH 44730. Ramps are no longer visible. Barbco Drills are the buildings in the back of the former drive in off Pekin.
Please update.
We have been to this drive in also in the 50’s and 60’s.We have been married 58 years.
The address is missing, and the map is in the wrong spot. The theater was on Trump Ave SE, on the southeast corner at Old Lincoln Hwy (just north of where the bypass abruptly ends). You can clearly see the outline of the rows in an aerial map. The back portion has been built over, but most of its original area remains untouched.
In 1963, the owner/operator was S. Schultz. Capacity was 1,000 cars per the motion picture almanac of that year. There was also a Giant Drive-In in Canton and an Auto Drive-In in North Canton.
