Your location is incorrect. The Volusia Drive In was west of Nova Road, approximately 1008 International Speedway Blvd. (formerly named Volusia Ave) There is a small mall and other stores in the former location. Bethune Cookman is in the 600 block.

PLEASE UPDATE ADDRESS TO 1008 West International Speedway Boulevard.

There was also a smaller D/I @ 501 S. Keech. Anyone have a name?
