Kenmore commented about Lexington Drive-In on Aug 7, 2016 at 7:06 am

JWMovies is correct, the address (at least for Google) is 3090 Lexington Road, Nicholasville, KY. Today, “The Boot Store” along with a few other businesses sit on the property, but you can still see some of the ramps. http://tinyurl.com/z4updn2

Kenmore commented about Absecon Drive-In on Jul 31, 2016 at 3:12 pm

According to the Google Street Map taken in October, 2015, the screen still stands. Also, a 2013 aerial photo shows the screen standing as well. So perhaps Hurricane Sandy didn’t blow it down.

The actual address (at least for Google) is 332 U.S. 270, Krebs, OK. Although demolished, you can still see the outline and ramps. http://tinyurl.com/j8n7qyv

Kenmore commented about Y Drive-In on Jul 22, 2016 at 8:56 am

A 1955 Aerial Map shows what appears to be the remnants of a drive-in located at County Road 124 and Old Wister Highway, Poteau, OK south of the town. It was located one block to the SE of the intersection on County Road 124.

Today, the property is occupied by radio station KPRV-AM you can still see what appears to the be the ramps and perhaps the screen foundation near the road. http://tinyurl.com/hj8dsux

Kenmore commented about Corbin Drive-In on Jul 17, 2016 at 9:03 pm

A closer address (at least for Google) is 1250 Cumberland Falls Hwy, Corbin, KY. Today, a private business sits on the property with little trace of the drive-in remaining save for a few ramps, the marquee, and possibly the projector booth/concession stand. http://tinyurl.com/hkfmr86

Kenmore commented about Tower Drive-In on Jul 17, 2016 at 6:03 am

The correct address (at least for Google) is 6187 Lake Avenue, Elyria, Ohio as previously indicated by Bill Eichelberger. The screen is still standing, but that is the only remains of the drive-in. http://tinyurl.com/zfdnt4d

Side Note: The description states that the large tower the drive-in was named after “shares the space” which is incorrect. You can see the tower just to the SE of the drive-in, but it never was on the same property. I know, it’s probably too picky to change, but I thought I’d point that out.

And a projection booth as well (forgot about that). Still, if they used the area near the hangers or on the airstrips itself, there may be no discernible trace of a drive-in remaining.

I looked at a 1952 aerial photo of the location that Yakima1 cited and there is no evidence of a drive-in scar at that time. So, I do not believe that is the location.

An aerial photo of the field in 1944 compared to the 1952 aerial shows virtually no change at the base. A little research shows that the field was abandoned shortly after WWII, but was not purchased by the city until 1947.

This may sound a little weird, but what if the drive-in was actually part of the field itself in some manner? If they used the paved area for parking, all they would need to do is set up a screen and speakers.

It does appear from the latest Google map that the projection booth/concession stand is still intact.

Kenmore commented about Sands Drive-In on Jul 10, 2016 at 11:50 am

I cannot speak to whether Elkhart extended into Oklahoma in 1958, but at least according to Google it does now. There is also no other nearby town in Oklahoma where the drive-ins could be associated.

For mapping purposes, the correct address should be Elkhart, Oklahoma.

Kenmore commented about Tuscan Drive-In on Jul 9, 2016 at 6:28 pm

The address should read Elkhart, Oklahoma and not Kansas since the drive-in sits on the Oklahoma side of the border. It appears that the town of Elkhart crosses the border much like Kansas City is in both Kansas and Missouri.

Kenmore commented about Sands Drive-In on Jul 9, 2016 at 6:26 pm

The location of the drive-in is Elkhart, Oklahoma, not Kansas. Google maps it as Elkhart, Oklahoma which means that it crosses the border much like Kansas City does.

A closer address is HWY 95 and US 56, Elkhart, OK. The drive-in is located about ¼ mile to the south of the intersection on the east side of HWY 95. Today, it is private property, but you can still make out the faint ramps. http://tinyurl.com/z26t83h

Kenmore commented about Sands Drive-In on Jul 9, 2016 at 9:53 am

A closer address is HWY 95 and Road B, Elkhart, OK. The drive-in can be seen just to the west of the intersection on the south side of Road B. Today, it appears to be private property, but the ramps are clearly present. http://tinyurl.com/zk26ge7

Kenmore commented about Tuscan Drive-In on Jul 8, 2016 at 2:44 pm

This is interesting. There are remnants of TWO drive-ins visible and very near each other. One is located on HWY 95 just south of Elkhart on the east side of the road. The second is a little further south at the intersection of HWY 95 and Road B, sitting on the south side of Road B. http://tinyurl.com/j5le3ot

They both existed and operated at the same time in the early 1970s which seems extraordinary since the tiny town of Elkhart had to have supported them both.

Another potential issue is that both drive-ins are located in Oklahoma. So, the proper map designation would be for Oklahoma, not Elkhart, Kansas. Unfortunately in terms of Google, I cannot get it to map accurately to either drive-in.

It seems unlikely that they are BOTH the Tuscan Drive-In since they both appeared to be operating at the same time in the early ‘70s. However, I really do not know.

Kenmore commented about Dallas Drive-In on Jul 6, 2016 at 4:16 pm

You can still see the ramps clearly, otherwise there is nothing remaining of the drive-in. Interesting that the land has not been purchased and used for another purpose.

A closer address (at least for Google) is 37152 U.S. 62, Malden, MO. The drive-in sat on the west side of the road. Today, a mixture of mobile homes and other items are present with no indications of the drive-in remaining. http://tinyurl.com/jsh2luu

JWMovies is correct, the address of 1316 Price Ln, Clinton, MO will correctly map the property. Today, there is no trace of the drive-in remaining. http://tinyurl.com/j55f4el

A somewhat closer address (at least for Google) is 536 North Broadway, Clay, KY. The drive-in was located just to the south and on the east side of the road.

Today, it is an empty field, but you can still see the faded outline and ramps. http://tinyurl.com/j77892f

Kenmore commented about Stardust Drive-In on Jun 23, 2016 at 8:00 am

Found It!

The address is Woodview Drive, Monticello, KY. The drive-in was located north of the city along Old HWY 90.

Today, the property is an empty field with little indication that a drive-in was once present. However, the foundation of the projector booth/concession stand is still there. http://tinyurl.com/h4mj8ys
