The foundations that sit behind the Country Mark are from a building that was constructed after the drive-in was demolished. That building lasted until at least 2008.
By 2010, it was gone and the present structure was put in place by 2012.
When looking at the 1953 and 1971 aerial photos, the marquee that is being used by the church was not present. In fact, the location of the marquee today is in the middle of where the entrance road for the drive-in used to be.
There does not appear to be any roadside marquee present in either aerial photo. There is something that sat between the entrance and exit roads in the 1953 aerial, but it appears to be gone or considerably changed by 1971.
You can just make out the faint remnants of the ramps sitting behind the church, but that is all that remains of the drive-in.
You can just see the remains of the drive-in across the street from the Dinah Christian Center. I could not get an address to lock in on the location with Google maps.
Looking at a 1951 aerial photo, the entrance to the drive-in was further south approximately where the Casa de Dios building now stands at 1270 Hobbton Highway, Clinton, NC.
You can see in the 1951 photo the marquee and yes it does look similar to the one that stands today in front of the car wash. If it is the same then it was moved at some point.
73 Main Street is NOT the entrance of the drive-in. Instead, it is a house that sits near the property but not connected.
83 Main Street, Alton NH 03809 is more accurate. On Google Maps the address indicates the Subway and Alton Auto Alignment, which as noted before sits close to where the box office once stood. It should be noted that the drive-in entrance road was widened and renamed “Village Circle”.
In addition, a new parking lot and drive has eliminated the remains of the screen foundation. The remaining traces of the ramps have been virtually wiped out due to the land being cleared. Apart from the general outline, there is little of the drive-in remaining.
There were two drive-ins located on HWY 158 just northeast of the city sitting on opposite sides. Assuming one of them is the Henderson Drive-In and the other is the Starlite, it will need to be established which one is which before an accurate address can be used.
I used 80 Fairgrounds Plaza because the entrance road was not defined on any aerial or topo map that I could review. The current entrance may be accurate or not as the property itself was changed considerably.
If there is a historic photo or topo map that defines the entrance road or the address of the drive-in itself when in operation, then that should be used.
Otherwise, I believe 80 Fairgrounds Plaza should stand it is clearly in the middle of where the drive-in once stood.
The billboard which sits at the corner of Sykes Mountain Avenue and North Main Street which is next to the McDonald’s may have been part of the original marquee or sits very close the to same spot. Given its unusual support structure, it’s possible, although not confirmed.
The 1998 aerial photo shows a larger building in place of the concession stand/projector booth. Plus, there are various items around the structure taking up considerable room on the property.
Probably fair to say that based on the photo, the drive-in was closed by 1998 as the structure is far larger and denotes a different function compared to the projector booth.
Today, the only thing remaining from the drive-in days is the entrance and exit roads to the property.
A closer address is Sara-Placid Rd & Old Military Rd, North Elba, NY.
The drive-in sits about ¾ a mile west of the crossroads on the north side of Sara-Placid Rd. You can just barely see the outline as the area is almost fully overgrown.
Faint hints of the ramps could be seen in a 1994 aerial photo. However, the construction of US HWY 18 put the property under one of the entrance/exit ramps, so no trace remains.
No trace of the drive-in remaining.

A more accurate address is 7341 US-50 Scenic, Lamar, CO 81052. On Google Maps, it’s right where the entrance road is located.

A housing edition now sits on the property. But you can still see the faint remains of the entrance and exit roads.
A more accurate address, at least for the entrance road, is 1435 W Ave D, Lovington, NM.
When comparing the 1957 aerial to present day maps, the drive-in was replaced by a housing edition that sits just to the west of the junior high.
In fact. the entrance road is now South 15th Street.
For Google Maps, the address 1663 US-191, Vernal UT works far better.
The drive-in has been demolished, so only the outline, ramps, and entrance remain.
The concession stand/projection booth appears to still be intact. At least from an August, 2014 Google street view.
A more accurate address is 3917 Bay-Arenac Rd, Pinconning, MI.
This points to the entrance road for the drive-in which is now used as the driveway for the house on the property.
You can just barely make out the faint outline of the drive-in. Otherwise, there is no trace remaining apart from the entrance road/driveway.

Using the 1958 and 1967 aerial, the drive-in was located where Chandler Construction Co. stands today.
Their address is 1517 US-220 ALT, Biscoe, NC. However, it does not map properly on Google, so I’m not suggesting it be used.
I see no indication of any remains of the drive-in.
Looking at a 1951 aerial photo, the entrance to the drive-in was further south approximately where the Casa de Dios building now stands at 1270 Hobbton Highway, Clinton, NC.

What source do you have that says there was an Indian Drive-In in Holbrook?

Drive-in was intact in 1972, but demolished by 1979 at least by looking at aerial photos.
Area is totally overgrown with trees. Even the roads leading to the drive-in appear to be gone.
A closer address is Sara-Placid Rd & Old Military Rd, North Elba, NY.
The drive-in sits about ¾ a mile west of the crossroads on the north side of Sara-Placid Rd. You can just barely see the outline as the area is almost fully overgrown.

I’ve found a drive-in west of Winona.
The address is Co Road E-450 and County Rd 60-445, Winona, MO.
The drive-in sat on the NE corner of the intersection. Today, it appears to be commercial property. You can still see the basic outline and the ramps.

Looking at the aerial photos the drive-in seemed to have made it into the 1970s. Although the screen appears to be gone by 1978.
Today, a post office sits on most of the property. The area where the screen once stood is now overgrown. There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.
You can see the faint hint of ramps at the back of the property.
It appears that the smelting plant shown in the photo is also gone. Only the waste from the plant remains.
