Kenmore commented about Okla Drive-In on Jun 1, 2018 at 6:54 pm

jwmovies is correct, the address is Oklahoma 53 and Oklahoma 65, Walters, OK.

The drive-in sat on the SE corner of the intersection. Today, the property is empty, save for the bailed and rolled hay that is stored. You can easily see the ramps, entrance and exit road.

Kenmore commented about Rancho Drive-In on Jun 1, 2018 at 6:46 pm

I cannot get an exact address on Google, but one that is next door is 401 Northeast Lincoln Road, Idabel, OK. The drive-in was located just to the south of this address.

It appears that a maintenance shop is on the property. You can still see the ramps and general outline. Plus, the marquee is still up, although not in very good shape, in front of the maintenance shop.

The address is 1600 N 15th St, Frederick, OK 73542.

Today, the Bible Baptist Church occupies the property with no trace of the drive-in remaining.

Kenmore commented about E. De Veer Drive-In on Jun 1, 2018 at 11:22 am

This drive-in should be listed as closed and possibly demolished. The screen is long gone and the projection booth/concession stand is rubble.

NYozoner is correct about the address, the drive-in was located at Alma Rd & Old State HYW 7, Velma, OK. It sat on the SE corner of the intersection facing North.

You can still see the outline of the ramps and the concession stand/projector booth is still intact.

Kenmore commented about Scottish Drive-In on May 31, 2018 at 3:19 pm

The drive-in is still mostly intact, but the screen is only a skeleton.

However, the projection booth/concession stand and ticket booth appears to be intact.

Kenmore commented about Maryborough Drive-In on May 31, 2018 at 12:28 pm

The drive-in at the 940 Saltwater Road location clearly has the screen torn down. You can see the screen foundation, but the screen itself appears to be long gone.

The projection booth/concession stand does appear to be intact.

Kenmore commented about Chief Drive-In on May 30, 2018 at 9:42 am

There is no indication that Pocahontas made it west of the Appalachian Mountains, much less all the way to what would become Iowa two centuries later.

Keep in mind that there are many places in the US named after famous people who never came anywhere close to them.

Kenmore commented about Bath Drive-In on May 30, 2018 at 9:26 am

The address should be 6772 NY-415, Bath, NY 14810. The address accurately marks the drive-in. Was built by at least 1952, unsure of closing date.

Screen looks like it needs some repair work. Otherwise, everything looks intact.

Kenmore commented about Triangle Drive-In on May 30, 2018 at 5:36 am

Found It!

The drive-in was located at 2694 Inwood Ave, Rockwell City, IA. It sat on the NE corner at the intersection of Inwood Avenue and 270th Street about three miles west of Rockwell City.

It may have called itself the “Triangle Drive-In” because it advertised the location as being “West of Rockwell City, East of Sac City, and North of Lake City”.

Today, a business sits on the property with no trace of the drive-in remaining.

Most of the property is home to Iowa Transportation-Highway, which would indicate a government installation that maintains roads and highways.

Kenmore commented about Fairview Super Superior Drive-In on May 22, 2018 at 6:18 pm

Some of the ramps are still visible on the NE corner of the property.

That would require some research.

When you are finished, you can let us know. ;)

Kenmore commented about Rocket Drive-In on May 17, 2018 at 8:55 pm

Found It!

The drive-in was located at 16130 AL-52, Kinston, AL 36453. It was on the north side of the road and can clearly be seen in a 1965 aerial photo.

Today, a Revels Store sits on part of the property along with a private residence. There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.

Kenmore commented about Antelope Drive-In on May 14, 2018 at 5:28 pm

The drive-in sat on the SOUTH side of Abernathy, not the north. While the address is correct, Google is having a tough time mapping it. A 1978 aerial photo shows the drive-in to be demolished.

Today, the St. Isadore Catholic Church sits on the property. You can still see the faint outline of the ramps on the west side of the property.

Kenmore commented about Skyview Drive-In on May 14, 2018 at 1:06 pm

A closer address (at least for Google) is 675 Decatur Hwy, Fultondale, AL. The drive-in can be clearly seen in in a 1970 aerial. A 1977 aerial shows the property to be closed.

Today, the property is partially covered by a new on-ramp to HWY 31 and the rest is an overgrown field. The projection booth/concession stand appears to still be there, although in bad condition.

Kenmore commented about Mustang Drive-In on May 10, 2018 at 2:45 pm

A closer address (at least for Google) is N Main St & NE Mustang Dr, Andrews, TX. The drive-in was on the SW corner of the intersection.

Today, the property is mostly empty save for the National Bank of Andrews which sits on the SE side of where the drive-in once stood.

You can still see most of the ramps.

Kenmore commented about East Bend Twin Drive-In on May 10, 2018 at 7:19 am

A 2012 aerial shows the both screens in bad shape. By 2013, both screens appear to have been removed.

Kenmore commented about Little River Drive-In on May 4, 2018 at 2:54 pm

A closer address is E2020 & Old State Hwy 98 Valliant, OK 74764.

That puts it about as close as you can with Google.

Kenmore commented about West 11th Twin Drive-in on May 2, 2018 at 7:38 am

A 1980 Aerial photo shows a drive-in located with the current address of 3333 W 11th Ave Ste G, Eugene, OR.

It does appear that the old entrance road was on Seneca, but that is now gone and Fred Meyer and Chase Bank, which occupies the property, has their entrance along 11th Street.

The same 1980 aerial only shows one screen, not two. I will not guess as to why, I’m only saying that I see just one screen and the 1977 topo map shows the same one-screen drive-in.

Kenmore commented about Dayton West Drive-In on Apr 25, 2018 at 5:52 am

The drive-in at West Third and Victory Drive is the Sherwood Twin. The Dayton West is further to the west and on the south side of the road.

Today, the property is cut in half by I-35 with no trace of the drive-in remaining.

Kenmore commented about Starlite Drive-In on Apr 24, 2018 at 10:02 am

Found It!

The drive-in was located on the north side of Bozeman, the address is 2304 N. 7th Ave, Bozeman, MT. This is confirmed by a 1988 topography map and the mountains in the background match the photos shown of the drive-in.

Today, Bridger Park Shopping Mall or Strip Mall sits on the property with no traces of the drive-in remaining.

Kenmore commented about Star Drive-In on Apr 23, 2018 at 10:28 am

When in doubt, use the nearest intersection.

A closer address (at least for Google) is HWY 59 and 250th Street, Mahnomen, MN. The drive-in is located about a half-mile to the south of the intersection on the east side.

A 1991 aerial showed the drive-in intact, but it had been demolished by 2003. Today, there is no trace of the drive-in remaining apart from the entrance/exit roads. Although one of the small buildings on the property sort-of resembles a projector booth, but I cannot confirm that.

Kenmore commented about Hill-Top Drive-In on Apr 21, 2018 at 3:36 pm

A closer address (at least for Google) is Chicora Road and Sullivan Road, Butler, PA. This address is close to the entrance road, which is on the south side and leads to the remains on the drive-in on Lick Hill.

The drive-in is overgrown, but still intact with the screen, concession stand/projection booth, and ramps still in place.

Kenmore commented about Victory Drive-In on Apr 19, 2018 at 5:19 am

A closer address (at least for Google) is Rifle Range Road and Plateau Drive, Alstonville, NSW. The drive-in sat on the NE corner of the intersection.

Today, you can still see the ramps, but as indicated in the above post, the area is being turned into housing.
