rivest266, was it east/west of the North 11? Did it make it until 1960 when it would’ve appeared on the aerial?

I’m more than happy to take down my post since I appear to have the wrong drive-in. I’m not finding the North 11 listed on this site, at least in Roanoke. So, that was the cause for my error.

But it would help to know more than simply the “Airport Road” as topo maps from that time show the roads were considerably different compared to today.

Grand opening ads posted. Kenmore, the North 11 Drive-In was at the auto mall location with the Loch Haven nearby.
