The Twilight Drive-In closed in 1979 and was demolished immediately afterward. The Walmart that was located in the theater’s spot opened on July 25, 1980.
It originally had 67 cars when it opened in 1952, but it expanded to either 175 or 200 cars in 1956. A 1951 aerial view shows the theater under construction, and a 1955 aerial view shows the construction of the extended traces.
It appears that it opened in either 1953 or 1954, and was gone in the 1980s. Stacey Lane wasn’t even extended until after the demolition of the Skyline, as the closest address to the entrance was located on 6380 KY-38.
I just recently looked through a few aerials, and I just found out that the Lebanon Drive-In stood abandoned for more than three long decades until ultimately demolishing in the late 1980s.
It was built in 1960. I just recently saw an aerial view of the theater being constructed. It probably opened in 1960 or 1961. It was demolished during the second quarter of the 1990s.
The Airport probably opened in 1953. It looks like the theater is short-lived, closed in the late 1950s. It was immediately demolished in the early 1960s it looks like.
The Pines opened on June 25, 1949 with the 1937 film “God’s Country and the Woman”, along with a Bugs Bunny cartoon. The original screen sizes 40x46ft.
The Lakeland Drive-In’s final attraction is a “triple-and-a-half” feature marathon, with “The Trouble With Girls”, a couple of Three Stooges shorts, “Vanishing Point”, and “The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia” as its last features.
Opened on June 30, 1972 with “Last of the Red Hot Lovers” at Screen 1 and “Conquest Of The Planet Of The Apes” at Screen 2, and closed on August 27, 1992 with “Pinocchio” (yes the Disney one as a matinee) and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” at Screen 1, and Lethal Weapon 3 at Screen 2 as its last films.
Opened on April 14, 1972 with “The French Connection” at Screen 1 and “Summer of ‘42” at Screen 2, and closed on January 28, 1985 with “Protocol” at Screen 1 and Micki & Maude at Screen 2. During its last couple of years in operation, it was named “Lakeland Mall Twin”.
It looks like the theater was immediately demolished after closure. A 1982 aerial view looks like the entire theater is almost gone except for the entrance trails.
The Starlite closed at the end of the 1979 season. It was demolished the following year to make way for the site of the Chicago Ridge Mall which also housed the Chicago Ridge 1-2-3 (now known as AMC Chicago Ridge 6) which opened on July 31, 1981.
Demolished in 2001.
The Dragon Drive-In opened in the early 1950s, and may’ve closed in the late 1970s.
So it might be closed in the late 1980s or early 1990s.
Demolished in the 1980s due to a second lane being constructed on the former screen’s site.

Opened in (or around) 1950, demolished in the late 1990s.
The Richmond Drive-In opened in 1951. I just recently found a 1950 aerial view showing the theater under construction.
A 1995 aerial view shows that the theater was completely gone, so it may be demolished in the early 1990s.
I just recently looked through a few aerials, and I just found out that the Lebanon Drive-In stood abandoned for more than three long decades until ultimately demolishing in the late 1980s.
It appears that the Hilltop opened as early as 1956 and was demolished in the late 1990s.
Probably the owner. It opened as early as 1952 and closed in the 1960s it looks like.
The Dixie Drive-In only operated for not even close to a decade. It was demolished in the 1960s.
It was built in 1960. I just recently saw an aerial view of the theater being constructed. It probably opened in 1960 or 1961. It was demolished during the second quarter of the 1990s.

It looks like that the screen was completely removed in 1972, so it may’ve closed in the late 1960s.

The entire mall including the Chicago Ridge 1-2-3 did replace Oak Lawn’s Starlite Drive-In, which closed at the end of the 1979 season.
