TomMc11 commented about Woodzo Drive-In on Sep 1, 2017 at 12:50 pm

December 2016 Google Street view the Screen is still standing and there is some form of marquee still standing, whether it was from the Woodzo or Newport I do not know. Aerial view shows the projection booth/concession stand is still there as well.

December 2016 Google Street view the remnants of the screen are still visible, and the aerial view has the outline of the ramps still visible. Historic Aerials from 1991 and 1997 show the screen and the projection booth easily visible.

As of February/March 2017 (Depending on what side of the highway you are on) the marquee of the River Breeze has a Coldwell Banker for sale sign on it.

Ok, if you look at the Historic Aerial from 1950, there is a Drive-In Theater to the left (West) of Peach Orchard Road on W. Broad Street. If you look at the 1997 Historic Aerial there are the remnants of a Drive-In to the right (East) of Peach Orchard Road on W. Broad Street. Did this theater literally relocate across Peach Orchard at some point?

Google Street view from June 2016 shows the screen still standing.

It looks like the old marquee is still in use, for Planet Fitness. Very tall sign with a swooping arrow pointing in the direction of the old DI.

June 2016 Google Street view shows that some form of marquee is still there, part of the word “Theater” is still visible.

The “green, roundish clump of trees” Silicon Sam mentions above that identified where there screen was is no more. The Hallmark Station apartments now occupy that site.

Use 1500 W Everly Brothers Blvd, Central City, KY 42330 for this one. Google now places 1500 without the W a few miles down the road from where this was at. The W puts it in the right place.

Approximate Address for this would be 816 W Barbours Cut Blvd, La Porte, TX 77571. Visible in the 1966 and 1973 Historic Aerials, gone by 1981.

TomMc11 commented about Starway Drive-In on Aug 25, 2017 at 12:25 pm

The property was converted into Starway Fun Park. Looks like some Go-Cart tracks and Miniature Golf. That is also defunct. The Marquee, however, still stands as does the entrance booth and it would appear the concession stand/projection booth was used for the Fun Park as well and is still there as of December 2016 Google Street View.

Google Maps and Historic Aerials keep putting you too far north, but a short scroll down can find the property. If you go into street view you will also discover that the marquee is still there covered by shrubs.

TomMc11 commented about Star-Lite Drive-In on Aug 25, 2017 at 11:30 am

Address is too far north of where the drive in was. The site of the drive-in was at 1630 Shakertown Rd, Danville, KY 40422 which is where Danville’s Food Mart is as well as some residences.

TomMc11 commented about Lost River Drive-In on Aug 23, 2017 at 10:46 am

Because it was located just south of the Lost River Cave which is a 7 mile cave system that has the Lost River, which originates outside of the cave somewhere, flowing through it. It is a tourist attraction.

In Google Maps it is the square shaped property just north of the Hampton Inn, pretty much unrecognizable as a former DI. The real question is why the heck is there a Hampton Inn there?

TomMc11 commented about Lakeview Drive-In on Aug 23, 2017 at 9:26 am

6398 US-27, Somerset, KY 42501 will put you at the entrance to this Drive-In. There is a road there now called Ben Way Drive that goes right through the middle of the property. The 5891 address puts you by the current location of the 27 Twin, not the Lakeview.

Marquee is still being used, but it now says: 7-Up/Snapple Bottling Group and two more business.

TomMc11 commented about Irvington Drive-In on Aug 23, 2017 at 8:39 am

Above address does not work, it places the pin on Google Maps several miles away from the location of the DI. 15866 U.S. 60, Irvington, KY 40146 will put the pin right at the exit road from the DI, the entrance road is gone.

3205 Eminence Pike, Shelbyville, KY 40065 works better for this Drive-In. 3058 takes you about a mile north of the Drive-In on Google Maps.

TomMc11 commented about Hilltop Drive-In on Aug 23, 2017 at 7:38 am

Interestingly enough, Historic Aerials actually has Drive-In Road labeled on the old entrance road to the DI, but Google does not. Street View is from March 2009, and there appears to be a mailbox by the entrance road, but there does not appear to be any structures at all down Drive-In Road.

TomMc11 commented about Hi-Y Drive-In on Aug 23, 2017 at 7:31 am

399 Hi-Y Drive, Henderson, KY 42420 will essentially put you right on the spot where the Drive-In was, now a residential neighborhood, but visible on Historic Aerials 1950 and 1958 shots.

1956 RR 20 E, Fonthill, ON L0S 1E0, Canada gets you there in Google Maps….and the google car actually went INTO the Drive-In.

TomMc11 commented about 5 Drive-In on Aug 20, 2017 at 8:25 pm

I am assuming it is called the 5 Drive-In due to it being just down the street from Ontario Route 5.

TomMc11 commented about Mohawk Trail Community Drive-In on Aug 15, 2017 at 9:26 am

It would appear what was used for the marquee is still there and visible on the most recent Google street view as of August 2013.
