The Lakeland Drive-In’s final attraction is a “triple-and-a-half” feature marathon, with “The Trouble With Girls”, a couple of Three Stooges shorts, “Vanishing Point”, and “The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia” as its last features.
Opened on June 30, 1972 with “Last of the Red Hot Lovers” at Screen 1 and “Conquest Of The Planet Of The Apes” at Screen 2, and closed on August 27, 1992 with “Pinocchio” (yes the Disney one as a matinee) and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” at Screen 1, and Lethal Weapon 3 at Screen 2 as its last films.
It looks like the theater was immediately demolished after closure. A 1982 aerial view looks like the entire theater is almost gone except for the entrance trails.
The Starlite closed at the end of the 1979 season. It was demolished the following year to make way for the site of the Chicago Ridge Mall which also housed the Chicago Ridge 1-2-3 (now known as AMC Chicago Ridge 6) which opened on July 31, 1981.
The theater closed in the 1980s probably. After closure, the theater was left abandoned for many many years until being completely faded sometime after 2007.
The triplex was located on 1122 Ulster Avenue in Kingston according to the original guy who took the photo. A Home Depot location now sits in the former triplex’s site. The triplex was demolished in the late 1990s, and the Home Depot was built afterward.
The Sullivan Drive-in closed in the latter half of the 1980s. It was demolished sometime in the earlier half of the 1990s. And as of 2022, traces were still seen clearly.
Right when it twinned in 1979, it was the second theater in Kingston to have more than one screen, with the first being the Kingston Triplex Cinema (first known as the ATMC Cinema, which will have its own Cinema Treasures page soon) which operated from June 1978 until the second quarter of the 1990s.
The Mayfair Twin was last operated by Cinema Centers and was closed for the final time in the middle of January 1987. The closure of the Mayfair left the Hoyts operated Kingston Triplex and the Hoyts operated Hudson Mall 6 in competition.
Sad to say is that the Mayfair Theater was demolished in 1994, and as of now a Volkswagen dealership (Romeo Volkswagen of Kingston) now sits in the site.

The entire mall including the Chicago Ridge 1-2-3 did replace Oak Lawn’s Starlite Drive-In, which closed at the end of the 1979 season.
Demolished in the late 1980s.

Closed in the mid-1960s, and was demolished in 1967 due to extension of Interstate 57.

Demolished in the late 1960s.
Demolished in the early 1990s.
The theater appears that it was closed in the mid-1970s and later demolished sometime in the late 1970s.
The Hi-Way 82 appears that it was opened in the early 1960s. I am not sure if it closed after just half-a-decade, it might be later than that.
The entrance was located on 458 GA-35 in Tifton. It appears that the theater was demolished in the early 1970s. Now Cracker Barrel sits in the site.
Unclear, but could be. The tower sits right next to the former concession building. A handful of parking traces were still seen today.
Yeah you might be right Michael. The screen was gone after the early 1980s arrived.
Opened in the mid-1960s and closed in the mid-1980s. The theater’s entrance was located on 7380 Korean War Veterans Memorial Highway in Minocqua.
The Dundale Opened In 1961. Construction Probably Began Earlier That Year.
It was demolished later on during the decade, possibly during WWII.
You’re welcome!

Opened on March 25, 1967 with James Colbert in “In Like Flint”.
I believe that this theater went back to Cannon in 1992-ish. Advertisements from 1993 says that the Putney was operated by Cannon.
