A closer address (at least for Google) is 498 Aberdeen Avenue Northeast, Huron, SD. Today, a business sits on the property, but you can still see some of the ramps. http://tinyurl.com/hevfjbo

A closer address (at least for Google) is US HWY 83 and Business 14, Pierre, SD. The drive-in is located about ¼ mile west of that location on the north side of the highway.

Today, it appears to be private property, but you can see the outline and the screen foundation of the drive-in. http://tinyurl.com/jcnc4hc

The poster featuring “Honky Tonk Burlesque” and “Love Moods” is pretty interesting as both films were released in 1952, demonstrated that “adult only” entertainment started at the drive-in long before the late 1960s.

Kenmore commented about Loop Drive-In on May 16, 2016 at 5:17 pm

Based on the poster, the approximate address (at least to Google) is 2802 N 3rd St, Temple, TX. The drive-in occupied the “loop” area where HWY 81 meets North 3rd Street.

The drive-in itself appears to have been closed and torn down by the late 1950s. A 1964 aerial photo shows a faint outline of the drive-in and what appears to be the foundation of the projector booth/concession stand. http://tinyurl.com/zos3ojf

Slight spelling correction, the address is Highway 24 & Jazmine Trail, Beloit, KS. Follow the Jazmine Trail less than a ½ mile to the east and you’ll see the remains of the drive-in on the south side. https://goo.gl/maps/xNMlU

Kenmore commented about Skyline Drive-In on May 12, 2016 at 4:39 pm

The drive-in location offered a spectacular view of downtown Tulsa, but it closed in 1970 due in part to the fact that it was well away from where the city was growing. The Apache, Airview, and 11th Street drive-ins lasted into the early 1980s and the Admiral Twin is still around today.

The address of 2708 N 1st Ave, Durant, OK is an accurate one (at least for Google). However, a housing edition has been built on the property so there is no trace of the drive-in remaining. http://tinyurl.com/jmk8h3a

Found it!!

A very close address (at least for Google) is Total Ave, Spiro, OK. The drive-in itself is just to the NE of the intersection of Total Ave and US 59 and behind a residential home.

Remarkably, the screen is still up and appears intact. However, the concession stand/projection booth appears to be worse for wear and even the ramps have faded away, but you can easily see the outline. http://tinyurl.com/j4dsoet

A closer address (at least with Google) is 441 Osage Dr, Purcell, OK. Today, the GM Tank company which produces septic tanks and storm shelters occupies the property. The only remnants of the drive-in is the general outline and the marquee which the company still uses. http://tinyurl.com/z3mwmdl

Kenmore commented about Lincolndale Drive-In on May 11, 2016 at 10:47 am

Found it! The address is (at least according to Google) 1422 Goshen Ave, Fort Wayne, IN. The drive-in sat on the north side of the road.

Today, the property is partly used for parking overflow of the Foellinger Theater and the rest has walking paths. The only remaining evidence that the drive-in existed is the foundation for the screen. http://tinyurl.com/zm79z8h
