Kenmore commented about San Pedro Drive-In on Jan 21, 2024 at 5:54 pm

In 2011, the property was the home of SOLT Holy Family Formation Center with several buildings on the property.

They were all torn down and removed by 2016. The only thing left apart from the foundations is remnants of the entrance road. The same one created by the drive-in.

Kenmore commented about Sundown Drive-In on Jan 20, 2024 at 5:20 pm

A closer address is 871 State Hwy 70, Rotan, TX.

The drive-in was located immediately to the south of this address. The entrance road no longer exists, so Google Maps does not have an exact match on HWY 70 at this time.

The drive-in was located southeast of the town along State HWY 70. it was on the east side of the highway and appears intact in a 1966 aerial.

By 1984, it had long been demolished. Today, it is an open field that is private property. There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.

The marquee was removed sometime between August 2018 and July 2022.

An October 2023 Google Street View shows the ticket booth still intact, but Mother Nature is taking over and the drive behind the ticket booth looks to be overgrown.

If this is going to be reopened, they will need a new marquee.

Kenmore commented about South Ottumwa Drive-In on Jan 14, 2024 at 9:38 pm

the old entrance road is still there, being used by the trucking company which sits just north of the property.

The projection booth/concession stand is still intact. Although in the Google Street View you can’t see it because of the cornfield.

What’s more interesting is that one of the towers used to support the screen appears to still be standing.

According to Google Street View, the sign has been there since at least May of 2008. They must really plan ahead.

There are some remnants of the drive-in remaining, mostly on the southern side of the property.

The main entrance road remains and has been resurfaced. Much of the exit road remains, although it is not in use. You can also see parch marks of the outline and some of the ramps.

A closer address is 7180 US-165, Columbia, LA.

This puts it right next to the entrance road, which is now Chase Street.

The drive-in was demolished and completely gone by 1983. Today, the east half of the property is a Doller General. The west half an open field with no trace of the drive-in remaining.

You can still see some hints of the ramps.

A closer address is 3073 Willis Ave, Perry, IA.

This lines up better with the entrance road to the drive-in, which does remain in outline form today.

A closer address is 1402 Commerce Dr, Greenville, TX.

Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right on the property.

The property is still undeveloped. You can still see the ramps, outline, and a series of large stones which mark where the projection booth/concession stand once stood.

Kenmore commented about Commerce Drive-In on Jan 1, 2024 at 10:45 pm

A closer address is 5174 FM2874, Commerce, TX.

Google Maps has updated their addresses. This puts it right on the property about where the entrance road used to be.

You can still see the outline, ramps, and foundation of the projection booth/concession stand. What’s left of the screen is a crumpled mess underneath the trees as of June 2022.

Kenmore commented about Hi-Vue Drive-In on Jan 1, 2024 at 10:40 pm

The property is now totally overgrown. The entrance is still there, although it is covered in grass. Apart from the outline, you would never know a drive-in was on the property, at least from Google Maps.

Kenmore commented about Midway Drive-In on Dec 26, 2023 at 3:47 pm

The projection booth/concession stand made it to at least 1995. Today, you can still see its foundation sitting between the two buildings.

Kenmore commented about Vicksburg Drive-In on Dec 24, 2023 at 6:38 pm

There is no trace of the drive-in remaining. When HWY-61 was widened to a four-lane, it took out the northern part of the drive-in.

Kenmore commented about Midway Drive-In on Dec 24, 2023 at 6:34 pm

A closer address is 2008 US-63, West Plains, MO.

A 1980 aerial shows the drive-in demolished, but you can clearly see the outline, ramps, and the projector booth/concession stand appears to still be present.

Today, the property is the home to Duke Boyz, an automotive supply and repair shop. The property retains the distinctive fan-shape of the old drive-in.

Kenmore commented about 63 Drive-In on Dec 23, 2023 at 5:18 pm

Drive-in was still intact in 1984, but completely demolished by 1995.

Today, there are parch marks of the ramps and the general outline remains, but that’s about it.

Kenmore commented about Sun-Rays Drive-In on Dec 21, 2023 at 11:23 am

Please update address to 7900 Ramona Boulevard, Jacksonville, FL.

This is what is listed on their drive-in webpage.

From their website, it seems that the Willow Branch address never came to be or was very short-lived.

Kenmore commented about Indian River City Auto Theatre on Dec 18, 2023 at 12:23 pm

A closer address is 201 Cheney Hwy, Titusville, FL.

This fits the Grand Opening advertisement of being in “Indian River City” and close to the Indian River, thus the Riverview Name.

The drive-in can be seen in a 1958 aerial. But it was completely gone by 1984.

Today, the eastern half of the property is occupied by TD Bank while the western half is a pond. There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.

The drive-in appears in a 1972 topo map, but was gone by 1984.

Kenmore commented about Starlite Drive-In on Dec 14, 2023 at 6:26 pm

Currently the home of the Chippawa Wiloughby Memorial Arena which includes a couple of soccer fields.

However, you can still see part of the outline and ramps from the drive-in.

Kenmore commented about Hollywood Drive-In on Dec 14, 2023 at 6:24 pm

The property remains undeveloped with the outline, ramps, entrance/exit roads, and foundation of the projection booth/concession stand remaining.

Currently, the property seems to be owned by a company called Post Busters, a fencing company. Not exactly a neat ‘n tidy property, but I guess Post Busters does not care.

Kenmore commented about Clappison Drive-In on Dec 13, 2023 at 7:00 am

A closer address is 59 Parkside Drive, Waterdown ON.

The address lines up with Clappison Avenue which is quite close to the original entrance of the drive-in.

Today, the property is mostly empty save for the road running right down the middle of where the drive-in once stood. There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.
