Kenmore commented about Apalachee Drive-In on Oct 31, 2025 at 12:22 pm

A closer address is 7191 Tyeview Dr., Grand Ridge, FL.

A 1955 topo map shows the drive-in entrance connecting to Tyeview Drive and not directly to the highway, although it is close.

Today, a private residence sits on the north side of the property, while the south side remains an open field. There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.

Kenmore commented about Blountstown Drive-In on Oct 30, 2025 at 3:45 pm

A closer address is 19119 FL-20 W, Blountstown, FL.

This puts it right where the drive-in sat.

The drive-in shows up in a 1957 aerial and still looks intact in 1984, but was demolished by 1994.

Today, the property is home to Blountstown Brewery which is temporarily closed. There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.

Kenmore commented about Bailey's Drive-In on Oct 30, 2025 at 3:41 pm

Found It!

The address is 17071 16th St, Blountstown, FL.

The area had changed considerably, so I put the address where the ticket booth once sat.

The drive-in appears in a 1957 aerial intact and looking operational. By 1975 it had been closed and demolished for some time.

Today, 15th and 16th Streets were the entrance/exit roads. There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.

As of August, 2025, the screen is still standing. It is now in a clump of trees, but it is still there.

Sometime between April 2018 and December 2021 the shed was torn down. All that is left is its foundation.

Kenmore commented about Vad Drive-In on Oct 6, 2025 at 5:39 am

Found It!

The address is 1707 N Glenn L English St, New Cordell, OK.

The drive-in was north of the town and appears in a 1955 aerial with no screen.

Today, a business sits where the entrance to the drive-in was located. While most of the property remains undeveloped. You can still see the foundation of the projection booth/concession stand.

Kenmore commented about Park Vu Drive-In on Sep 27, 2025 at 3:47 pm

Drive-ins, like all businesses, fail for any number of reasons. The Park Vu did open about a month after the Sky Vue, but was basically in the town next to HWY 169 while the Sky Vue was a couple miles east of town on HWY 60.

The Park Vu also had its screen facing west, which meant that the setting sun would light the screen for longer compared to the Sky Vue’s screen which faced northeast. Whether that had any bearing on the short life of the Park Vu I cannot say.

A better address is 3020 US-70, Burns, TN.

Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right on the projection booth/concession stand.

Kenmore commented about Park Vu Drive-In on Sep 26, 2025 at 6:10 pm

A slightly closer address is 433 S Ash St, Nowata, OK.

This is the entrance to the RV park which was also the entrance to the drive-in. Thanks to a 1958 aerial that confirms its location.

That same aerial also showed the screen was gone, so it had definitely closed. Today, there is no trace of the drive-in remaining save arguably for the first two ramps from the screen.

A closer address is 12526 Old 66 Blvd, Carthage, MO.

As I’ve mentioned before, there are still hints of ramps remaining. However, one of the buildings seen at the entrance in the 1961 aerial remains.

Kenmore commented about Holiday Drive-In on Sep 22, 2025 at 4:56 am

The drive-in appears intact and perhaps was operational in a 1983 aerial. By 1998 it had been completely demolished.

Today, all traces of the drive in have been plowed away.

The Sam’s Club and parking area retains the basic shape of the drive-in. You can still see traces of the western section of the ramps.

Kenmore commented about Vincennes Drive-In on Sep 8, 2025 at 1:21 pm

This is NOT the Allison or Vincennes Drive-In.

As the posters in the photo section clearly state, that drive-in was located WEST of Vincennes and towards Lawrenceville, IL. It has a page on Cinema Treasures already.

Whatever this drive-in was opened prior to 1958. But was closed and demolished by 1972.

Kenmore commented about Orangeburg Drive-In on Sep 7, 2025 at 8:38 pm

The drive-in sat immediately south of the trailer park. It is now an open field.

The projection booth appears in a 2008 Google Street View, but was gone by 2013. It appears that the land has been resurfaced or at least landscaped. All traces of ramps and foundations are gone.

The only remnant of the drive-in remaining are bits of the entrance and exit roads.

Part of the outline still exists.

Kenmore commented about New Moon Twin Drive-In on Aug 31, 2025 at 1:42 pm

A community care center has been built on the property. There is no trace of the drive-in remaining that I can confirm.

There is a power pole that has a light on top which is present in a 2008 Google Street View next to the entrance of the driving range. That pole might have been there when it was a drive-in. But I cannot say for sure.

Kenmore commented about Beverly Drive-In on Aug 29, 2025 at 4:01 pm

The entrance road and foundation of the screen remain. Along with the brick pylons on either side of the entrance to the drive-in. However, they have been hidden by overgrowth.

By 2015, the screen was taken down.

Today, the foundation of the screen remains and there are some ramps still visible.
