The drive-in was seen in the 1957 aerial view, meaning that this opened during the 1950s.

1981 aerial view shows the drive-in in operating shape, but traces were completely fading by 1985. I cannot confirm if it was still operating at that time. As of 2026, the projection booth/concession booth was still standing, but the screen had been timbered to the ground ever since as early as 2006.

Right after its 1982 closure, it was left abandoned for more than a decade. The church was built sometime during the late-1990s or early-2000s.

Operated as early as 1951, and was still open in the mid-1980s. The screen was already gone by 1994, but the traces remain intact until the mid-2000s.

50sSNIPES commented about Midway Drive-In on Jan 4, 2026 at 6:42 am

The Midway Drive-In appears to be still operating into as late as 1986.

It was already demolished in the early-1990s to make way for the Market Place Shopping Center, which had a crapload of generic businesses, including a Steak N Shake (where the screen previously stood), Pet Supplies, Staples, a Dollar Tree, a Spencer’s, a Kay Jewelers, and a GameStop among others.

Everything remained standing into as late as 1998, but was already gone during the early-2000s.

50sSNIPES commented about Lake County Drive-In on Jan 4, 2026 at 6:41 am

A 1981 aerial view shows the drive-in clean and still operating, but traces started to overgrown by 1985, but cannot tell if they’re still operating at the time or not.

50sSNIPES commented about Reef Drive-In on Jan 4, 2026 at 6:40 am

1974 and 1983 aerial views show the drive-in with its screen and glory, but judging by the traces in the 1983 aerial view, I cannot confirm if the drive-in was still operating at the time. It was already gone during the 1990s.

50sSNIPES commented about Original Drive-In on Jan 4, 2026 at 6:39 am

Still open in 1980, but was already closed by 1985, meaning that it closed during the early-1980s. A 1985 aerial view shows trailer homes scattered all over the front of the drive-in.
