The screen tower’s skeleton may be rusty, but otherwise I agree. The rest of the theater is in good shape.

Most likely closed in the late-1970s or early-1980s.

A 1985 aerial view shows the drive-in, but it appears to be closed. There’s a line indicating where the screen is, meaning that the screen is still standing. It was already wiped by the early-1990s.

A 1987 aerial view shows the theater with its screen and glory, but cannot confirm its condition.

Still listed in the 1994 topo, but is most likely gone by then, as confirmed in the 1998 aerial.

Some employee appears to be a “Dallas” fan. He probably watched too much WJBK or CFPL.

Closed as a movie theater on April 2, 1989, closing with “Chances Are”, “Cousins” and “New York Stories”. Judging by advertisements and articles, it did not close with a special screening of “Gone With The Wind”.

A 1992 aerial view shows the theater appearing to be closed, but everything intact. It was already wiped by the end of the decade.

Still visible in 1985, but was closed by the mid-1990s. Although almost everything was still intact by then, the screen remained standing until sometime in the late-1990s or early-2000s.
