Kenmore commented about Fox Drive-In on Dec 1, 2016 at 9:58 am

Based on topo and aerial maps from the time, there is no evidence to suggest that a third screen existed. It may be a fault of Google maps because it would have stood over the exit road. An aerial photo from 1978 does not show a screen in that location.

In addition to the big screen which still stands, although it is heavily damaged and deteriorated, the ticket booth is still present. However, both projection booths/concession stands appear to be totally demolished.

A closer address (at least for Google) is 63060 Highway 25, Smithville, MS. The drive-in is intact, complete with screen and projector booth/concession stand. As noted the ramps are curved in the opposite direction because the screen was moved. http://tinyurl.com/jac8ctd

The screen and projection booth/concession stand are still intact at least as of 2014. Plus, if the marquee is accurate, then the drive-in lasted well into the 90s as “Good Burger” was released in 1997.

It appears to have been a mobile home park that is now out of business. A 1960 aerial photo shows the drive-in appearing to be demolished, so it did not have a long life.

A closer address (at least for Google) is 417 U.S. 45, Columbus, MS. The drive-in sat at the intersection of US 45 and HWY 182 on the southeast corner.

Today, C & T Truck Parts sits on the property with no trace of the drive-in remaining. http://tinyurl.com/j7ky7xh

A closer address (at least for Google) is County Road 210 and Highway 9, Pittsboro, MS. The drive-in sat just to the south of the intersection on the east side.

As indicated, the ramps still remain. http://tinyurl.com/juw5b7v

Although I cannot be certain, it appears from the aerial photos that the screen or at least part of it is still standing.

Kenmore commented about Pine Tree Drive-In on Nov 26, 2016 at 7:58 am

According to a 1991 aerial photo, the screen was actually on the north side of the property. The area where the screen was located is now fenced off, but you can barely make out where the supporting poles were located.

In addition, you can clearly see the foundation of the projection booth/concession stand just south of the storage buildings.

Kenmore commented about Tower Drive-In on Nov 13, 2016 at 12:31 pm

Found It. There is a drive-in that was located at 446 Faison Highway, Clinton, NC.

Today, it is the location of Robinson and Son Machine, Inc. There is little left of the drive-in save for the general outline seen behind the main building and the concession stand/projection booth, a two-story building, still stands. http://tinyurl.com/jprm43n

You can still see the outline of the ramps. http://tinyurl.com/zyb6ks7

A closer address (at least for Google) is 21 U.S. 1A, Van Buren, ME. This maps the entrance to the property where the US Border Patrol station is now located.

Today, there is no trace of the drive-in remaining. http://tinyurl.com/jnpx6e4

The Gulf Station sits only on a small part of the drive-in, you can still clearly see the outline, ramps, and foundation to the projection booth and concession stand. http://tinyurl.com/z2j4xpn

Kenmore commented about Paonia Drive-In on Nov 1, 2016 at 12:02 pm

According to a 1994 aerial and previous topo maps, the screen was indeed next to the highway. However, the drive-in itself was rather rectangular running west to east and not dipping down towards the south. It appears that the car capacity was fairly small.

Kenmore commented about 11th Street Drive-In on Oct 31, 2016 at 5:53 am

A somewhat more accurate address (at least for Google) is 9727 Route 66, Tulsa, OK. This marks the entrance to the property itself, not the intersection of which the drive-in was never located nor is next to like the storage company.

Today, God’s Shining Light Church sits on part of the property, but there is no trace of the drive-in remaining having been completely demolished shortly after it was closed. http://tinyurl.com/zwm4wlq

A more accurate address (at least for Google) is 20981 U South Highway, Chatham, VA 24531.

There is no trace of the drive-in remaining, save perhaps for the base of the marquee. http://tinyurl.com/gt9276m

Kenmore commented about Pioneer Drive-In on Oct 24, 2016 at 4:51 pm

A more accurate address (at least for Google) is 240 East Chrysler Avenue, Blackwell, OK 74631, which is dead center of the property.

Today, it is an empty field, but you can still see the outline, ramps, and remnants of the entrance/exit roads. http://tinyurl.com/hzgquyf

A closer address (at least for Google) is 12536 County Rd 1000 E, Louisville, IL.

You can still see the general outline and the foundations for the screen and projector booth/concession stand. However, it does appear that other structures were built and torn down over the years on the property. http://tinyurl.com/ho65qb2

Kenmore commented about Twilight Drive-In on Oct 20, 2016 at 5:22 am

A closer address (at least for Google) is HWY 45 and Orange Street North, Ludlow, IL. The drive-in sat just to the west of the intersection on the southside of town.

Today, it is private property with no evidence that a drive-in was present. http://tinyurl.com/zpog5w3

Kenmore commented about Jackson Drive-In on Oct 16, 2016 at 11:19 am

Actually, the drive-in sat further up the road to the northeast. A church currently sits on the property and features a bright, red roof. Plus, you can still see the old entrance/exit roads, some ramps, and a building that sits where the concession stand/projection booth once stood.

Unfortunately, despite getting an address I cannot get Google to properly map the location.

The land that the drive-in was located on is untouched as it sits behind Speedway Ford. You can easily see the ramps, the remains of the concession stand/projection booth in the back, and the old entrance road runs just to the north of Speedway Ford’s Collision Center.
