The Rexview Drive-In opened September 22, 1948 with Shirley Temple in “Honeymoon”. Car capacity was listed at 450 cars. The screen was destroyed in 1952 by a tornado and rebuilt. It was operated by the Georgia Theatre Co. until 1961, when Martin Theatres took over ownership.
The Rexview Drive-In closed in 1980 and was demolished in April 1983. The site is now the Columbus Technical College.

The above address will map accurately to the location of the drive-in.
Here is a 1968 aerial photo of the drive-in, courtesy of Earth Explorer and USGS.
Thanks for the photo NY.
Yes, thanks so much for adding to it.I was hoping someone from Columbus would take what i started and put a local touch to it.
The screen and speaker were not done away with till the late 8o’s .
This opened on September 22nd, 1948 and closed in 1980. Grand opening ad in the photo section.
The tornado that ripped the screen apart was in April of 1953, not 1952.
