I have lived & grew up in Gates & remember The Central Drive-In Well with its playground in front og the screen. The whole family would pile into the 53 Chevy & head out there on a Fri or Sat nite & I really have fond memories of an outdoor Movie Palace as I remember it as a young Boy

I know this area well.I lived at the other end of LongPond Road,and as kids in the mid 80s we used to hang out there.I dont remember that it was called “The Central” ,we called it Long Pond.
We were there the day they tore it down,and the space is now apartments.Was located adjacent to the Barge Canal.
When we hung out there the place was already abandoned and vandalized.
