An approximate address is actually 28324 US-72, Hollywood, AL 35752.
The first ad appeared on June 20th, 1950, and closed in 1983.
Wonder if I could still send a criticism to that PO Box # it would read Why did you sell out.
This Drive in theater took up the property between dump road and up to and including what is now a business called Thomas signs. Lat and Long of 34.710521, -85.972520 puts a pin in about the center of it on google maps. Their is a 1981 Aerial on historicaerials.com
There are no “reservations” in Oklahoma. The tribes own the land outright which is a major difference.
The Cherokees started moving into “Indian Territory” (eastern Oklahoma) in the mid-1820s (including Sequoyah). The rest of the tribe was forced in the late 1830s to move into the region, going along the “Trail of Tears” that caused thousands of deaths.
By the early 1840s, most of the Cherokees has moved with a small band remaining in Georgia.
Where did the unusual name come from and how you say the name of the drive-in?
Approx. location for this drive-in was John T Reid Pkwy & Dump Rd, Hollywood, AL 35752.
