Item in Boxoffice magazine, March 17, 1951:
“Louis Vuona, Westerly Drive-In, Westerly, R.I., has set March 21 as his opening date.”
This drive-in opened in 1948 and closed in 1987.
Approx. address for this drive-in was 580 Post Rd.
It is now a big lake.
Article in the Westerly Sun March 1, 1950 states that the drive-in was in the final stages of construction and would open by April 30.
A closer address is 368 Post Rd, Westerly, RI.
This puts it right on the entrance road which now leads to a drive-in shaped pond.
