I remember this theater in the 60’s. It was located on Rt 24, AKA Flanders about a mile outside the Riverhead Traffic Circle. The back of the screen faced the roadway. I remember in the 70’s it closed, fell into disrepair and a rental storage business sits today where the entrance was. As mentioned above, a radio station sits to the rear left of the property. I think it was am 1570. Never visited the drive-in, but passed many times on way to Riverhead.
I visited this theater often in the 60’s and 70’s. Standard refreshment stand and kiddie playground. Always a double feature with intermission time. Closed about 1982 amd the King Kullen shopping center in the Bridgehampton Commons expanded and took over the site of this old drive-in. Sad to see it go, but real estate prices were the culprit.
I saw the Beatle’s, A Hard Days Night in this theater way back in the summer of 1964. Several years ago I returned to see Roger and Me. Guess what? The theater is exactly the same 4 decades later. This old UA theater is A real treasure, not to be lost!
