Matbe Mike Rogers will know more about this Drive-in.
i have it parking 600 cars in 1956 and owned that same year by N.N.Bernstein, Floyd ran the other Drive-in Town,so they could have bought this screen later.
The April 4th, 1951 grand opening ad has been posted in the photo page for this theatre.
This drive-in was located at what is now the Warner Christian Academy and the White Chapel Church.
Approx. address is 1730 South Ridgewood Avenue near Bellewood Avenue.
The ACTUAL Closing date of the #1 Drive In…was the day AFTER Labor Day, 1978. I helped disassemble this Drive In; the parts were all taken to the Fun-Lan Drive In in Edgewater, Fl. (its gone too). The last movie shown? “Harper Valley P.T.A.” with Barbara Eden.
The school had been using the old concession building, a check with Google Earth reveals that its gone now as well, unknown demolition date. :(
