From the Obituary of Donald Hallenbeck:

he opened the Indian Ladder Drive-In Theater in Voorheesville and in 1958 the Chief Drive-In in Canajoharie.

The year is off on this because other records show it open in the early 1950’s

Kris4077 commented about 281 Drive-In on Mar 29, 2019 at 4:48 pm

A better address for this on Google maps is:1371 US-281, Hamilton, TX 76531. It maps right to the business that the concession stand can be seen behind. The address above doesn’t even map to an address on US-281 even though the Motel down the road is 1447 US-281.

Kris4077 commented about Skyvue Drive-In on Mar 29, 2019 at 2:14 pm

I don’t see what you see at that location. I see a lot of wavy lines that look a lot like drive-in theater ramps but they’re all over the place must be some type of crop or its wind blown sand or dirt. Makes it hard to locate a drive-in theater.

Kris4077 commented about Route 125 Drive-In on Mar 26, 2019 at 11:16 am

Looks like the Drive in theater was right across the road from 107 you can still see a faint hint of the ramps. Latitude & Longitude on Google maps are 42.839050, -71.108501.

Kris4077 commented about Midway Drive-In on Mar 22, 2019 at 11:31 am

A better address is 2835 U.S. 181, Karnes City, TX. It puts the pointer right on the spot in Google Maps.

Kris4077 commented about Moonlite Drive-In on Mar 20, 2019 at 1:05 pm

This Drive-In actually maps on Google to 3067 Old Highway 27, Trion,GA 30753. This address puts the pointer right on the exact location.

Kris4077 commented about Valley 6 Drive-In on Mar 13, 2019 at 10:26 am

The land is still vacant you would think the way they quickly demolished it after the owners death there would have been something new going up on the land. What a shame.

Kris4077 commented about 270 Drive-In on Mar 13, 2019 at 10:17 am

Also that would be a weird placement of the screen in relation to the road.

Kris4077 commented about 270 Drive-In on Mar 13, 2019 at 10:16 am

The topo map makes it look like it was on the corner of the two roads because it looks like that pie shaped lot has a concession/projection building and a screen. Might not be but that’s what it looks like. Of course I don’t see a ticket booth.

Kris4077 commented about Stars & Stripes Drive-In on Mar 12, 2019 at 2:58 pm

This Drive-In Theater is probably one of the nicest I’ve seen

The Marquee picture at web address below.

https://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/09/36/7a/43/stars-and-stripes-drive.jpg

The marquee has a spot for a 4th screen must be a future project.

Kris4077 commented about Stars & Stripes Drive-In on Mar 12, 2019 at 2:41 pm

Satellite view looks as if it was graded for a 4th screen. Looks as though there is remnants of ramps in the fourth field.

Kris4077 commented about Osbunn Theatre on Mar 12, 2019 at 10:04 am

When Mapped on Google maps it maps to the back of the building. This is why I think the main part of the theater was torn down.

Kris4077 commented about Osbunn Theatre on Mar 12, 2019 at 10:01 am

The front of this building is still there as attested to in the following

article:http://www.newsoforange.com/news/article_19dd61a3-814a-52fd-bdf6-da9d11bfe36e.html

The correct address is:

120 W King St, Hillsborough, NC 27278

Was the Yucca a Twin 2001 Lubbock Hwy including the next lot has that basic drive-in theater shape. It very close.

Kris4077 commented about Sky-Vue Drive-In on Mar 8, 2019 at 2:06 pm

@dansdriveintheater the lot next door has the drive in shape also. If it was a drive-in theater it may have been a twin.
