What is the best way to contact the current owner of the Beverly Drive-In?
theatreman1, As far I as know, the Beverly is still for sale. I read that another group was looking at it in May, but I do not know the outcome. In Sept of 2008 the Beverly was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in Mississippi. So any rehab work could possibly qualify for tax credits. I understand there has been some moisture damage in the booth and concession areas. The asking price was $1,069,000 for the Beverly and its 12.27 acres of property. Below is the realtor listing link.

I sure hope that someone or group will get together and save this old Drive-In before its too late.
Quite a lot, does anyone know whom to contact, please send me a email, thanks!
The Beverly Drive In Theare in Hattiesburg, Ms is still for sale. The last I heard they were asking one and a half million for the property. The back screen is still down, but they seem to be keeping the grass cut. Hope someone or a group will purchase and persevere the Beverly for future generations of movie goers.
A group has formed on Facebook to try to do something about the Beverly. You can read about it at View link
