This was actually located just outside Montezuma in Oglethorp. Close address is 2180 GA-49, Oglethorpe, GA 31068. This maps to a Gas station, the drive-in was across the road. It’s present in a 1956 aerial but completely demolished by 1970.
This was located at 2055 US Hwy 41, North, GA 31029. Its present in a 1955 aerial but by 1973 completely demolished and overgrown with trees. Was probably a short lived theatre.
Apparently this site was in the Tremont Park area of Savannah, there is what looks like a possible drive-in at the current address of 1900 Corvair Ave, Savannah. In 1955 there is what looks like construction of something, unfortunately the next aerial is from 1971 and shows some redevelopment of the site. I’m probably seeing things and am way off.
As stated above this was a temporary drive-in during covid, setup in the car park of the Foxwoods Resort Casino. It had 103 car spots, they used an inflatable screen.
OK, it appears there was either two drive-in’s in this town or the Mesa was moved up the road. The Mesa does not exist at this address in a 1958 aerial photo HOWEVER, a smaller drive-in DOES exist at the current address of 2700 Lincoln St. The remains of this drive-in also exist in a 1969 when the “new” Mesa has been constructed.
You know what Michael, I just took a look and you are correct, an old 1954 topo shows there was a drive-in at the current address of 21 Millville Road, so there were absolutely two different sites in this town.
They apparently charge $20 for a “food permit” if you bring in outside food, which I kind of understand since these places literally only make money from concessions but $20 seems kind of steep.
I find it hilarious that in the latest street view the old marquee still says “closed for the season” despite the pool being filled in and the site is clearly being used for a trucking/construction company. Also directly opposite the marquee on the other side of the road a resident still proudly displays his Trump banner, LOL.
According to this article: http://www.thesylvaherald.com/history/article_448db73e-cbc9-11ec-86b1-bb2a0d52ecd3.html It was located near the Budweiser plant. There is a bit of open land in the area where it could’ve been but its still too hard to tell, certainly no signs of an airstrip.
According to their website: https://goldtownnick.com/location/drive-in/
Their current location is at Egan Drive & Whittier Street, Juneau. They also seem to only screen arthouse films?
A close address for the one is Metternichstraße 2, 44867 Bochum. It looks like its still a vacant lot with the faint outline of the drive-in still remaining.

A better address that is easier and more accurate would be 1411 Jack Dayton Cir, Young Harris, GA 30582.

This location actually only has 2 screens, their website also confirms this. The “3rd screen” is actually just a wall or advertising board.
Grand opening was actually May 20th, it was advertised the day before but the actual opening was on the 20th.
What’s left of the ticket box still remains as of July this year.
The last movies might’ve been Cliffhanger and Guilty as Sin.
The number is way off, its actually 2700.

The West is still visible in a 1981 aerial photo but it’s hard to say if it was open.
Apparently closed on May 29 1977.
The approximate opening date for this was actually May 3 1951.
Opened on July 19 1949 and closed in the fall of 1975. Apparently operated by Western Theatres Ltd.
The land is currently for sale, and looks like it has been for a while.

The land was redeveloped into a housing estate in 2018.
Its being replaced with Mission and Ramona Business Park, which will be a mix of industrial buildings and warehouses.
