50sSNIPES commented about Airport Drive-In on Sep 23, 2022 at 3:15 pm

The Airport probably opened in 1953. It looks like the theater is short-lived, closed in the late 1950s. It was immediately demolished in the early 1960s it looks like.

It looks like that the screen was completely removed in 1972, so it may’ve closed in the late 1960s.

The Pines opened on June 25, 1949 with the 1937 film “God’s Country and the Woman”, along with a Bugs Bunny cartoon. The original screen sizes 40x46ft.

The Lakeland Drive-In’s final attraction is a “triple-and-a-half” feature marathon, with “The Trouble With Girls”, a couple of Three Stooges shorts, “Vanishing Point”, and “The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia” as its last features.

It looks like the theater was immediately demolished after closure. A 1982 aerial view looks like the entire theater is almost gone except for the entrance trails.

50sSNIPES commented about Starlite Drive-In on Sep 20, 2022 at 10:35 am

The Starlite closed at the end of the 1979 season. It was demolished the following year to make way for the site of the Chicago Ridge Mall which also housed the Chicago Ridge 1-2-3 (now known as AMC Chicago Ridge 6) which opened on July 31, 1981.

The entire mall including the Chicago Ridge 1-2-3 did replace Oak Lawn’s Starlite Drive-In, which closed at the end of the 1979 season.

The theater closed in the 1980s probably. After closure, the theater was left abandoned for many many years until being completely faded sometime after 2007.

50sSNIPES commented about Kingston Cinema Triplex on Sep 18, 2022 at 11:13 am

The triplex was located on 1122 Ulster Avenue in Kingston according to the original guy who took the photo. A Home Depot location now sits in the former triplex’s site. The triplex was demolished in the late 1990s, and the Home Depot was built afterward.

Closed in the mid-1960s, and was demolished in 1967 due to extension of Interstate 57.

The Sullivan Drive-in closed in the latter half of the 1980s. It was demolished sometime in the earlier half of the 1990s. And as of 2022, traces were still seen clearly.

The concession stand was removed in 1982, otherwise the theater itself was almost attached, but I am not sure if the screen was standing at that time.

The theater appears that it was closed in the mid-1970s and later demolished sometime in the late 1970s.

50sSNIPES commented about Hi-Way 82 Drive-In on Sep 18, 2022 at 7:15 am

The Hi-Way 82 appears that it was opened in the early 1960s. I am not sure if it closed after just half-a-decade, it might be later than that.

The entrance was located on 458 GA-35 in Tifton. It appears that the theater was demolished in the early 1970s. Now Cracker Barrel sits in the site.

Unclear, but could be. The tower sits right next to the former concession building. A handful of parking traces were still seen today.

Yeah you might be right Michael. The screen was gone after the early 1980s arrived.

The Dundale Opened In 1961. Construction Probably Began Earlier That Year.
