Closed on January 5, 1974.

Definitely short-lived. That year’s aerial view shows that the screen is gone.

Gone by 1981.

A 1993 aerial view shows the screen was still standing, with everything still intact. The only thing different is that there’s a building at the northwest corner of the traces. I’m very sure this may’ve closed in the late-1980s or the very early-1990s.

Most likely still operating into the 1980s. A 1984 aerial view shows the theater with its screen and glory. It was already gone by the early-1990s.

I kept getting Application Errors every single time I tried to add more information…

50sSNIPES commented about Green-Point Drive-In on Mar 8, 2026 at 7:55 am

Easy find! It was located on 820 S E Broad St, Metter, GA 30439, where both 1969 and 1981 aerial views show the drive-in with its screen and glory, but there’s some very small buildings in the 1981 aerial view located right next to the screen. I cannot confirm that it was still operating at the time. It was already demolished by the early-1990s and a street dedicating to the Green-Point Drive-In was made.

Most likely still operating in the late-1960s but was already closed by 1972. That year’s aerial show that the screen being collapsed and lying face forward for some reason. The screen was already gone by the mid-1970s.

Everything remained standing into the 1980s, but the screen was gone by the early-1990s. As of 2026, traces are barely visible.

50sSNIPES commented about New Carrollton Theatre on Mar 8, 2026 at 7:35 am

First operated by Wineland Theatres, and Neighborhood Theatres took over the New Carrollton several years later.

AMC Theatres would later open a six-screener across the street called the AMC Carrollton 6, eight years after the single-screener’s opening, which will have its own CT page soon.

50sSNIPES commented about Glennville Drive-In on Mar 8, 2026 at 7:34 am

Most likely closed and demolished in the early-1970s. The church that took over the former drive-in site was already built during the mid-1970s.

50sSNIPES commented about Fountain Drive-In on Mar 8, 2026 at 7:29 am

This definitely closed in the early-1960s.

50sSNIPES commented about Cornelia Drive-In on Mar 8, 2026 at 7:18 am

Already closed by the early-1990s, but the screen remained standing alongside much of the traces but the concession building is gone. It was already vanished by 2007.

Definitely short-lived. A 1965 topo shows that a church was at the site of the concession stand.

Already gone by 1972.

50sSNIPES commented about Cleveland Drive-In on Mar 8, 2026 at 7:06 am

Right after closure, it appears that either most or almost everything remained standing into the 1990s, but was already vanished by the early-2000s.

50sSNIPES commented about Hiaway Drive-In on Mar 8, 2026 at 7:03 am

Already wiped by 1982, meaning that it was closed during the 1970s.

50sSNIPES commented about Medina Valley Drive-In on Mar 8, 2026 at 6:38 am

A 1983 aerial view shows the theater with its screen and glory, but I cannot tell its operational condition because of some traces being faded at the time. It was already closed by the early-1990s, but everything remained standing into the remainder of the decade. The entire theater was already gone by the early-2000s.

50sSNIPES commented about Yadkinville Drive-in on Mar 8, 2026 at 6:35 am

Still intact in the 1982 aerial view, but was already gone by the 1990s.

50sSNIPES commented about M and T Drive-In on Mar 8, 2026 at 6:34 am

The concession building remained standing into the 1980s, but most likely turned into foundations in the 1990s. The traces are already fading at the time as well.

50sSNIPES commented about Auburn Drive-In on Mar 8, 2026 at 6:30 am

Most likely operated as early as 1952. Almost everything remained standing until the late-1980s.

50sSNIPES commented about Sunset Drive-In on Mar 8, 2026 at 6:22 am

1983 and 1985 aerial views show the drive-in, but I cannot tell its condition. I also can’t tell if the screen was present. The concession building survived into the 1990s despite the traces being overgrown.

50sSNIPES commented about El-Co Drive-In on Mar 8, 2026 at 6:10 am

The screen was already gone in the 1983 aerial view, but the traces and concession booth remained standing. Traces were already fading by 1995, but everything is already gone by 2003.
