Found It! The address is 1975 N Main St Bluffton, IN. Today, a Walgreens and JP Morgan sit on the property with no trace of the drive-in remaining. http://tinyurl.com/j7dnecl

Kenmore commented about Airport Drive-In on Mar 9, 2016 at 9:41 pm

The address 1007 S. Main St., Galax, VA as reported by jwmovies is as close as Google will allow. The property now hosts a self-storage business and car wash with no trace of the drive-in remaining. http://tinyurl.com/hae52l8

Interestingly enough, not even in the 1963 aerial is there evidence of an airport or airfield nearby at least that I can see. So, just how did it get its name?

Kenmore commented about Midway Drive-In on Mar 9, 2016 at 1:41 pm

Found It! The drive-in was located at 2707 South Virginia Street, Reno, NV. Aerial photos show it was in existence from 1948 and was still intact by the late 1960s.

Since then, it has been totally demolished and today the Peppermill stands on the property with no trace of the drive-in remaining. http://tinyurl.com/h9qrz75

Found it! The current address is 4813 Bella Pacific Row, San Diego, CA. The drive-in managed to make it to 1980, but by the following year was demolished and now the property is a housing edition with no trace of the drive-in remaining. http://tinyurl.com/gnjrps3

Kenmore commented about Highway 2 & 65 Drive-In on Mar 2, 2016 at 7:36 pm

Pardon me, the screen sat on the SW corner of the lot, not the SE. The entrance is still there on Liberty Road, but nothing else remains.

A more accurate address (for Google) is 2000 40th, Humeston, IA. The drive-in sat on the SW corner and today there is noting left save for faint traces of the screen foundation on the SE side of the lot. http://tinyurl.com/h65vfu5

A more accurate address (at least for Google purposes) is 253 Chapel Road, South Windsor, CT which I assume is a suburb of Hartford. http://tinyurl.com/zngvx5g

Kenmore commented about 10-13 Drive-In on Feb 29, 2016 at 11:00 am

A more accurate address is 9282 Heritage Drive, Marshfield, WI. Today, a rather interestingly named business, the “Rear End Bar” complete with exotic dancers occupies the center of the property.

You can still see some of the ramps, the marquee is still standing near the entrance, and there appears to be remnants of the screen remaining as well. http://tinyurl.com/hpmk3xm

Kenmore commented about Midway Drive-In on Feb 26, 2016 at 3:44 pm

The property sits at 1821 U.S. 17, Merry Hill, NC and appears in a 1954 aerial photo. However, it was long gone by the 1980s.

Today, it is private property with no trace of the drive-in remaining. http://tinyurl.com/zpyk3lt

Kenmore commented about Dania Drive-In on Feb 26, 2016 at 3:30 pm

Found It! The address is 427 E. Dania Beach Boulevard, Dania, FL. It managed to make it into the 1960s, but was demolished by 1969.

Today, most of the property is now the parking lot for The Casino at Dania Beach. There is no trace of the drive-in remaining. http://tinyurl.com/hqsn9kq

Kenmore commented about Skyline Drive-In on Feb 26, 2016 at 8:03 am

It certainly appears from comparing the photos from 1958 and 1971 that the airport did expand considerably. Currently, the American Airlines St. Louis Ground Operations Center sits on the property.

One of the relatively few demolished drive-ins where the only thing remaining is the screen itself.

Here is the location of the drive-in. http://tinyurl.com/gsp3omv

You can still see some of the ramps, the old entrance, and what appears to be the screen foundation.

There is no evidence of any drive-in located in Barton. However, there was a drive-in located near Donaldsonville which is near Barton. The address is 2290 Louisiana 1, Donaldsonville, LA 70346.

Today, the entire property is overgrown and no trace of the drive-in remains. http://tinyurl.com/z67nbxk

Found it. There is no exact address, but the drive-in is located SW of the town on County Road 322, one block NW of Texas 17. The screen is gone, but you can still see the ramps and the projection booth/concession stand appears to be intact. http://tinyurl.com/gv5zbfl

A closer address is 1043 Vermont 114, Norton, VT 05907. The home to the east of the address is where the drive-in was located. You can still see the general shape and some faint ramps behind the home. http://tinyurl.com/hto76fj

A closer address is 2200 Neptune Drive, Clinton, OK. The location is just south of the address. Although the outline, ramps, and projection booth/concession stand existed until 2010, the property has subsequently been totally transformed and no trace of the drive-in exists. http://tinyurl.com/h96ej5f
