Cool artical and photos Nick,I know it is hard to make them look good at least you have some old stuff to post I never kept any of my old stuff except one-sheets.Luckly none of my theatres were divited they just built as one screens even the Loews Melrose with 1000 seats including the balcony would have worked unless they were real small theatres,there was talk of it but it never happened. The Loews Crescent with 830 seats maybe could have been split but they would have been very long skinny theatres with small screens.And I just thought there were only exit doors on the left side of the house so the fire codes would not let this happen.
Thanks Tim I still do not see what back photo Mike is talking about.Its no big deal I guess maybe he is just trying to show the whole theatre,but it did get flooded I do not know if it is back open, Nashville got hit pretty hard May 1 and 2nd.2010.
I do not know I did not post this theatre,some people get uptight if you know what I mean,I do not think drive-ins are real Cinema Treasures but there sure a lot of them on this site,to each his or her own I quess.
I know Mike today was the first I heard of it, as you noticed these are mostly Nashville theatres I am 52 years old did not even know of these theatres before today,they were before my time,I did a location search to find them, I do not know why I did not do this before many of these address' are near me and it will be easy to check them out,most are long gone I am sure.I only live 5 minutes from downtown Nashville.

You are right Doug, I had this confused with the old Green Hills.

No Mike that was the CRESENT DRIVE-In and SKYVEIW DRive-In.THIS DRIVE-IN OPENED IN 1956 so it did not make your book.
Nashville’s First,too bad there are no photos.
This drive-in did not last too long.
Thanks Lost.

Thanks Theatre Organ this theatre would have been around the corner from the Arcade a Nashville Landmark for over one hundred years.
You can see film of this theatre flooded on youtube under Nashville flood 2010,as posted by Meg on May 10th.
