The 1967 and 1969 aerial views there show the Starlite with its screen and glory, most likely still operating. However, the screen was gone by 1973 but everything else remained intact.
The Starlite closed on September 15, 1991 with “Hot Shots” and “The Naked Gun 2½”, and the concession/projection building was destroyed by a large fire two weeks later on October 3, 1991. The fire also killed a 21-year-old man named Steven R. Howell when the roof fatally collapsed on him. It was demolished in the mid-1990s and Kerasotes opened their Showplace at the former Starlite site on November 19, 1999.
Kerasotes operated the theater from October 29, 1987 until its final closure on November 18, 1999 with “The Bone Collector” and “Pokémon: The First Movie”.
It appears that the 1969 aerial view shows the theater not functioning because of the traces being grown. It was most likely demolished during the mid-1970s.
Both 1987 and 1988 aerial views show the drive-in with its screen and glory, but I cannot tell its condition. Cowan Oldham Lane was created shortly after closure.
A 1982 aerial view shows the drive-in, but I cannot tell its condition. It appears that the traces looked rough.
The screen was gone by 1984, meaning that this closed sometime in the early-1980s.
Screen is most likely gone by 1991.
A 1987 aerial view shows the theater, but I cannot tell its condition. Its traces are already fading at the time.
Both 1985 and 1986 aerial views show the theater with its screen and glory, but was already gone by 1992.
Already gone by the early-1990s, but the traces and the concession building foundations are still visible.
Closed in the mid-1980s.
Likely demolished around 1990.
A 1984 aerial view shows the drive-in with everything still intact, but in rough shape. The screen was removed the following year in 1985.
Closed on January 7, 1988 with “Dirty Dancing” in Screen 1 and “Fatal Attraction” in Screen 2. It was demolished in December of that same year.

Closed on August 25, 2000.
The concession building most likely turned into foundations during the mid-1990s.
Most likely demolished in the late-1950s, because the 1961 aerial view shows that the current was already built.
Closed on September 6, 1987 with “Dragnet” and “Crocodile Dundee”.
Looks like the Friendly closed after the December 8, 1957 showings of “Phantom Of The Trails” and “Jail Busters” plus an unnamed cartoon.
Fun Fact: GKC Theatres was also its last operator prior to its original June 9, 1988 closure.
The concession building managed to stand in the 1980 aerial as well, but was already turned into foundations by the following year.

Still visible in the 1982 aerial view and listed in the 1985 topo, but was already gone when SR-259 was created, most likely around the early-1990s.
Actual opening date is November 2, 1950.
