East Robin Court is pretty much on the spot where the drive-in was located. The drive-in was demolished long ago however the exit road still exists as a driveway for houses on the site.
I think I’ve found this location, there is a drive-in listed on a 1958 topo map that was last shown in a 1966 topo, the closest address is 198 Sterling Ave, West Monroe, LA 71292. The drive-in was located where the freeway intersection is right next to this address.
There was a drive-in just outside of Manchester in Warm Springs, it was located at 4280 Roosevelt Highway, Warm Springs, GA 31830. It was in a 1955 aerial image but completely demolished by 1969. It looks like it could hold 300ish cars, this might be the location of the Martin?
Approximate address is 12816 US-19, Lebanon, VA 24266. Appears to be an empty field on Google Earth but Street View shows a Mobile/Kit Home business on the site.
I can’t believe I missed the location clue of the name Cascade, this drive-in was located on the right side of the Cascades Golf Course. The closest address is 3550 N Kinser Pike, Bloomington, IN 47404. The drive-in was there until at least 1969. Its now been redeveloped into 2 baseball fields.
I’m pretty sure I found the location. The closest address is 20731 MO-59, Noel, MO 64854. There is a property right on the state line opposite Stateline Liquor with a large shed on it – this is where Big Sombrero was located. In a 1955 aerial you can see what looks like ramps with a largish concession building where I guess the seats were.
I think the approximate address is 2930 W 1150 S, Bunker Hill, IN 46914. It was still complete in a 1981 aerial. As of August 2018 the screen was still standing, concession building may still exist as well.
Closed around 2008/09? Most of the site is now Toyota Kenya but the first few rows of ramps are still there, also the screen, entrance gates with “Belle Vue” written on them and ticket box were still there as of 2018.
Approximate address is 305 Church St NE, Wise, VA 24293. Now a strip mall, the drive-in was still there in 1969 but I’m not sure if it was still operating.
A possible location could be at E9716 M-28, Munising – where the Re/Max Superiorland Real Estate office is. If you look at the 1981 aerial on Historic Aerials you can see what kind of looks like signs of a drive-in outline and possibly faint signs of some ramps.
October 2019 street view still shows the screen skeleton standing.

Its marked on a 1982 topo map so it might of operated into the early 1980’s?

Probably located on Old Drive-In Rd, also had outdoor seating for walk-ins.
A better address format is IL-33 & 1950E, Lawrenceville, IL 62439
It can be seen under construction in a 1950 aerial photo so it might of opened around 1950/51? Looks to have also closed in the mid-80’s.
This drive-in also had a steak house, this building still exists on the site.
Looks like it was closed by 1964, its been demolished in an aerial from that year.
Approximate address is 305 Church St NE, Wise, VA 24293. Now a strip mall, the drive-in was still there in 1969 but I’m not sure if it was still operating.
The Roxy 5 Theater (indoor) has been built on part of the site, so movies continue to be screened there.
The ramps still exist and are overgrown but everything else has been demolished.
The concession building may still exist, possibly used as a site office for the RV Park or for Toilet/Shower use?
The road is now labelled as KY-11, Highway 11 wont map properly on Google.

The site is now used by Crosslake Lutheran Church as a drive-in church which they use the ramps for.
