Kenmore commented about Penn Drive-In on Sep 22, 2016 at 7:24 am

A closer address (at least for Google) is County Road 475 and Highway 385, McCamey, TX. Today, the screen is still up and you can clearly see the ramps.

I would submit that the Penn and Circus Drive-In are not only the same, but the Ford Drive-In which only lasted a few years is the one on the south side. This is because the drive-in with the screen is found on a 1974 topo map. http://tinyurl.com/jng6wwb

A closer address (at least for Google) is 7656 Rochester Road, Gasport, NY.

As indicated, the property is covered in garbage, but you can still make out the ramps and the projection booth/concession stand is still there. http://tinyurl.com/hzr83u4

It appears that most of the land the drive-in was located on remains untouched. You can see the ramps and the foundations for the projection booth/concession stand and the screen.

In looking at a 1951 aerial photo, it certainly looks like the drive in could hold more than 75 cars. However, it is on the small side. Rough guess: 150 – 200 cars.

Plus, a 1971 aerial photo shows the drive-in looking fairly well kept. It may have been closed for 11 years, but everything was still up and the property mowed.

Kenmore commented about Mooresville Davidson Drive-In on Sep 17, 2016 at 7:07 am

A closer address (at least for Google) is 1723 Mecklenburg Highway, Mooresville, NC. The drive-in was located just to the south along the east side of the highway.

The property itself is totally overgrown with trees, but they form the pattern of the ramps. http://tinyurl.com/zhep7ec

Found It!

The address (at least for Google) is 168 Frank P. Layman Blvd, Wintersville, OH. The drive-in appears not to have survived past the 1960s.

Today, it is a large parking area for a shopping center. There is no trace of the drive-in remaining. http://tinyurl.com/heqomhj

A closer address (at least for Google) is 39378 North 1410 East Road, Hoopeston, IL. Today, it is private property with a large pond. There is virtually no trace of the drive-in remaining save for the outline and remnants of the screen foundation. http://tinyurl.com/zpamkue

Kenmore commented about Family Drive-In on Sep 15, 2016 at 7:35 am

Found it!

The address (at least according to Google) is 2 Kingsdale Road, Steubenville, OH. The drive-in seemingly lasted until the mid-1960s, but was wiped out by the new Highway 7 which took up most of the property.

Today, there is nothing left of the drive-in. http://tinyurl.com/jlzt8ft

A closer address (at least for Google) is 14825 Old U.S. 27 Lansing, MI. Today, the property is empty with what appears to be a retention pond on the east side.

Kenmore commented about Skylark Drive-In on Sep 8, 2016 at 9:43 am

Found it!

A closer address (at least for Google) is 2201 Liddon Lake Road, Corinth MS. I could not map the US 72 or Lee’s Highway addresses close enough to the property, but this road runs right behind it.

Today, the property is or was a mobile home business, but you can easily see the outline, ramps, entrance/exit roads, and foundation for the projector booth/concession stand. http://tinyurl.com/z6ohtuf

Kenmore commented about South Salem Drive-In on Sep 5, 2016 at 1:04 pm

From the aerials, it appears that the drive-in existed well past 1964. In fact, it was transformed from a single to a four-screen well after 1964.

Kenmore commented about Sunset Drive-In on Sep 4, 2016 at 1:35 pm

The area covered by the drive-in was considerable. The screen was located in the parking lot next door to the auto salvage site. You can still see traces of the outline of the drive-in that emanated from the screen southwest towards what is now an abandoned trailer park. http://tinyurl.com/zkeemg3

A more accurate address (at least for Google) is 23901 North Chrisman Road, Tracy, CA 95304. Today, a small industrial park with a series of businesses occupies the property.

There is no trace of the drive-in remaining. http://tinyurl.com/ztx8z2w

The Admiral Twin in Tulsa is one. It was featured in the film “The Outsiders” although that particular screen burned down in 2009. A metal one replaced it and the drive in is still open today.

A better address (at least for Google) is 3062 Broadway of America Hwy, Dickson, TN. The drive-in is located several miles east of Dickson and the land is for sale.

However, the drive-in appears to be completely intact. http://tinyurl.com/jmljhfq

Found it!

The address (at least according to Google) is 1824 East Ridge Pike, Royersford, PA 19468. The drive-in lasted into at least the early 1970s, but was demolished by the early 1990s. The remnants remained untouched until sometime after 2004.

Today, a Target sits on the property with no trace of the drive-in remaining. http://tinyurl.com/h6vuezn
