They apparently charge $20 for a “food permit” if you bring in outside food, which I kind of understand since these places literally only make money from concessions but $20 seems kind of steep.
I find it hilarious that in the latest street view the old marquee still says “closed for the season” despite the pool being filled in and the site is clearly being used for a trucking/construction company. Also directly opposite the marquee on the other side of the road a resident still proudly displays his Trump banner, LOL.
According to this article: http://www.thesylvaherald.com/history/article_448db73e-cbc9-11ec-86b1-bb2a0d52ecd3.html It was located near the Budweiser plant. There is a bit of open land in the area where it could’ve been but its still too hard to tell, certainly no signs of an airstrip.
According to their website: https://goldtownnick.com/location/drive-in/
Their current location is at Egan Drive & Whittier Street, Juneau. They also seem to only screen arthouse films?
A close address for the one is Metternichstraße 2, 44867 Bochum. It looks like its still a vacant lot with the faint outline of the drive-in still remaining.
Some more notes about this historic theatre, it burned down in October 1938 but was quickly rebuilt and reopened in December that same year. The world premier of the Nick Cave film “The Proposition” (that was shot in locations close to Winton) was screened there in 2005 as well.
Original owner was F.Brook - his name on the front facade of the building with the year of construction. Ownership history:
F. Brook 1934-37
A.G. McGowen 1937-39
G.H. Towart 1939-41
F. Brook 1941-71
Finally after Brook passed away the theatre was sold to Allan Dohnt who operated it until closure in 1983/84.
The ticket box looks like its been incorporated into the house design which is kind of cool, also the concession building still remains as of October 2022.
29 Trestle View Lane maps exactly to the site, Google Maps has problems finding 7600 Stine Hill Rd….For the purposes of accuracy the address should stay as the Trestle View Lane address IMO.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but in a May 2023 aerial photo, the screen and concession building appear to have been demolished. You can only see this view on the Google Earth Pro app, it hasn’t been updated on the web version yet.

The West is still visible in a 1981 aerial photo but it’s hard to say if it was open.
Apparently closed on May 29 1977.
The approximate opening date for this was actually May 3 1951.
Opened on July 19 1949 and closed in the fall of 1975. Apparently operated by Western Theatres Ltd.
The land is currently for sale, and looks like it has been for a while.

The land was redeveloped into a housing estate in 2018.
Its being replaced with Mission and Ramona Business Park, which will be a mix of industrial buildings and warehouses.

Historical aerial images seem to show the second(?) screen actually stood until the late 90’s.
Unfortunately the site has already been cleared, a May 2023 aerial photo shows ramps bulldozed down to dirt and concession building being dismantled.
No, although its technically not on Powell Blvd, that is the closest major road.
This was designed by the Iranian Architect Heydar Ghiai.
I’ve read that the Dromana drive-in actually started using FM sound in early 1984 which would pre-date this one by two years.

The site was completely cleared in 2020 and a new building has been constructed on the site, its currently being used by PFD Food Services.
Yep, Seattleprojectionist is correct, its now Ernie’s Fuel Stop which is mostly a parking lot for trucks.
