I try and dig up these old Drive-ins in and around Georgia and the Carolinas and hope you or Chuck 1231 or Bob can add the needed touches and you guys do a great job.Even with my misspellings sometimes.
In 1956 it parked 100 cars and was owned by Clyde Cannon.According to Motion Picture almanac. I think the Atlanta Constitution did a feature story on this drive-in when re-opened.I have the article somewhere.
Had alot of great times working at GCC and the midnight shows were always a challenge for managers,first getting good movies,I had a good track record.sometimes the stinking bookers didn’t even know what i was talking about.“DAWN OF THE DEAD” along with"ROCKY HORROR" had to be the two biggest midnight money makers for GCC.
Wow, this is great.I live about 50 miles from Greenwood and had no idea they were open.I just thought the Big-Mo was open in Monetta,S.C.And they park 650 cars far cry from what had,But like I said the Drive-in wasn’t in that bad of shape when i visited back in the mid 90’s.It was closed,but i see someone opened it.Hopefully,someone from the AUTO DRIVE-IN will get on CT. And they outta let people in the Augusta area that they are open and in a sporting way let folks know there is another Drive-in besides THE BIG-MO.I know groups that go to the BIG-Mo Drive-in,now I will let them know about this Greenwood Gem. Thanks Silicon Sam,Again.
Ken Mc loved that story on “AN UNMARRIED WOMAN” i am a Jill Clayburg fan and liked the movie,but To bring a blind date to that movie.LOL. I noticed another Carmike theatre closing.
I still think they should spend a little advertising money and hit the Augusta market.I know alot folks that head out to the BIG-Mo.

Thanks,Nick.I always try and run through most of your theatres to see if you have added ads or pictures.

Yes,It looks great for second run,maybe has gone second run since AEK316 asked a question.It’s my old company GCC.
What idiot remodeled that beautiful movie theatre!
You never worked in a drive-in?
Yep, your right.It is Cordele,but i bet the majority of the folks there could care less.

KenRoe and Patrick.once again great reading and the pictures are great.
Okay, I am checking it out.
Yeah, but certainly not “OUR DAYS”.
It is just such an odd looking theatre,I might put it on one of my Favorites list.
Any extra Info would be great from you guys in the Carolinas.
Yes,that would have been great place. I would rather have 100 State theatres than one 20 plex.
“The Last Unicorn” I remember that summer movie and couldn’t figure out how GCC got it.Nice looking theatre.Hope they did some business.
What strange looking movie theatre.
Nice picture,Chuck 1231.
It seems that Bismarck has plenty of movie theatres.You guys must really like going to movies up there!
Carmike must be heading home to Georgia!

It was owned by Snyder in 1956.
