Kenmore commented about Riverview Drive-In on Nov 21, 2024 at 4:27 am

An August 2019 Google Street View shows the marquee was removed. The retirement home seems to have closed by 2014.

Although the land has mostly been developed, you can still see faint parch marks of ramps to the north of the retirement home.

Kenmore commented about Plantation Drive-In on Nov 19, 2024 at 2:02 pm

The drive-in was demolished by 1982. The property sat empty and eventually became overgrown with trees while retaining the outline and ramps of the drive-in up to 2007.

By 2008, a road was cut and today a Tractor Supply sits on the property with no trace of the drive-in remaining.

A closer address is 1351 12th Ave NW, Owatonna, MN.

This puts it about where the entrance connected to 12th Avenue NW in a 1984 aerial. The original entrance road was further south, as seen in a 1958 aerial, but was completely gone by 1984.

It really looks like the drive-in had been closed for some time before 1984. Although intact, grass had grown on the ramps and partially covers the exit road.

There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.

A closer address is 3297 Old Nottoway Rd, Crewe, VA.

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

Amid the overgrowth, the projection booth/concession stand still seems intact. The entrance road is still present, but nothing else of the drive-in remains.

The marquee was still present in December of 2018, but was removed by May of 2019. However, the horse’s head is still present as of July 2022.

Kenmore commented about Mt. Scott Drive-In on Oct 23, 2024 at 12:04 pm

The second location for the drive-in was an open field after it was closed and demolished for a long time. Today, the property has been graveled and now contains dozens of shipping containers.

Kenmore commented about Terrace Drive-In on Oct 21, 2024 at 8:11 am

A closer address is 2601 S Gregg St, Big Spring, TX.

The drive-in is present in a 1957 aerial. By 1965, it had been completely demolished and a large store was being built on the property.

Today, a Walmart Supercenter sits on the property along with several other businesses.

Kenmore commented about Killarney Drive-In on Oct 20, 2024 at 8:59 am

A closer address is 11503 MO-72, Ironton, MO. As mentioned previously by Kris4077. This places it right on the property.

Today, it is private property with a house that sits on the same spot where the projection booth/concession stand once stood. The only remnants of the drive-in are the entrance/exit road and faint hints of ramps that can barely be seen on the southern end of the property.

Kenmore commented about Corral Drive-In on Oct 19, 2024 at 3:05 pm

When it was a single screen, the drive-in featured an elongated exit road that curved to the south. That was erased when the second screen and ramps were created.

The drive-in was still intact in 1996, although clearly closed. By 2003 it had been demolished.

Today, the only remnant of the drive-in remaining are a few ramps of the second screen on the southside of the property.

Kenmore commented about Albermarle Drive-In on Oct 19, 2024 at 5:34 am

I’ve come up with the name Albemarle Drive-In. It will need to be verified.

The name makes some sense since Albemarle Sound is just to the south.

Kenmore commented about Olden Drive-In on Oct 18, 2024 at 5:19 pm

Having said that, a reasonably close address is 103 Co Rd 438, Eastland, TX. That places it right next to the property which never had an entrance road.

Kenmore commented about Olden Drive-In on Oct 18, 2024 at 5:16 pm

A 1958 aerial shows a fully intact screen. The screen seems to have remained intact at least through 1995, but at some point afterward had the screen itself removed so now it is just a skeleton.

There is no evidence of anything else being built on the property. So, it was never a drive-in.

Kenmore commented about Dixie Drive-In on Oct 18, 2024 at 5:11 pm

A closer address is 124 Co Rd 546, Olden, TX.

Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right next to the property, although it does use the same entrance road.

It was still intact and possibly operational in 1965. By 1983 it was demolished. Today, it is private property with no trace of the drive-in remaining save for the entrance road and a pile of rubble that may have once been the projector booth/concession stand.

It is still a flea market, which takes up the back half of the drive-in.

Kenmore commented about Sky-Vue Drive-In on Oct 13, 2024 at 12:07 pm

Although the sign of Fleetwood Homes is still present, the property became empty as of a February 2024 Google Street View. There were homes on the property as late as March 2023, but they are all gone.

The only remnant of the drive-in remaining is what is left of the entrance road.

Kenmore commented about Tommies Drive-In on Oct 8, 2024 at 1:30 pm

A May 2024 Google Street View (which has rays of sunlight streaming through the clouds in spectacular fashion) shows what’s left of the marquee which is three support poles.

Repeated plowing has removed whatever parch marks had been present on the property.
