starlite theater Aberdeen SD

Located in Aberdeen, South Dakota. I knew there was an Aberdeen, South Dakota, but the Starlite Drive-In was listed in North Dakota, and I am not sure if maybe the Motion Picture Almanac didn’t put Aberdeen in the wrong state.

Anyways, there is a Starlite Drive-In in Aberdeen. It parked 360 cars and was owned by Aberdeen Starlite Theatres.

Yeah, I think that was a misprint. This theater was located at about 2029 134th Street or 691 US 281 (depending on where you click). There is new development along the edge of the property, but the ramps are still faintly visible.

I was going to post that address. In the 1997 view on GE, you can make out the first 6 rows or so, and that’s about it.. Screen was to the West, to the right where the little pond is now.

A more accurate address for this theater is 850 S Highway 281, Aberdeen, SD 57401. This points directly to the entrance road. Sodak Sports sits at the entrance. An empty field is where the drive in stood. Please update.
