The address looks good to me.
The screen lasted until at least 2016 along the remnants of the drive-in which was covered in undergrowth for quite some time.
The screen has been removed and the entire area was razed so that it is now unrecognizable.
My guess is that this was always known as the Tri-County Drive-In.
The Exhibitor, May 9, 1951: “The Tri-County Drive-In, Spruce Pines, N. C., opened. Owner is Tom Cooper.”
Boxoffice, Feb. 3, 1975: “Exhibitors visiting on (Charlotte) Filmrow recently were Tom Cooper and Rogers Garland, Carolina Tri-County Drive-In, Spruce Pines”
Looks like it was located at the current address of 2490 US-19E, Spruce Pine, NC 28777. However Kenmore might be able to find a better address.
