Appears to now be operating as “Sundown Storage Solutions”.
The screens appeared to still exist as of 2020-21. Still being used to park school buses.
Opened with “Get yourself a college girl” and “Wild wild winter”. The drive-in lot(complete?) is now used by a outdoor storage facilty to store cars and buses.
It’s actually Highway 5 and Highway 41 (not 43).
The map location is incorrect. The drive-in was located (and the screens are still present) on the southeast corner of Highway 5 and 43, southeast of the location currently pegged on the map.
I just checked the location again (also visible on Street View) and it’s now Sundown Storage Solutions. Better change it’s status to Closed.
Although the screens are still up, as of summer 2014 it’s being used as a parking lot for school buses.
1966 grand opening ad in photo section.
May 1 1967 and “GOOD NEIGHBOR SAM” is playing along with “THREE ON A COUCH"The Drive-in advertises this as an Adult feature?
First ad (october 1 1966) in the newspaper is on this page at View link
