Loved this drive-in. Went many times when I was in college. I took a pair of car-hop speakers and wired them to my home stereo. Still have them out in my living room and they both work. Hated to see it torn down. If I’m not mistaken, half of the neon is on display somewhere in Gallatin and the other half at the Stardust out in Watertown.

I never went to this theatre, but my grandparents lived in Madison and we used to drive past it when we were going into town. Long after it closed, I stopped by to take some photos and noticed the marquee box had the door open. All the letters were still laying on the shelves, covered in bird poo and dust. So the next day I came back with some trash bags and took most of what was in there. A lot of it was junk (and has since been thrown out), but I got some cool metal signs that say “coming” (like coming soon) and TechniColor. Still have them up in my house. I believe a RiteAid is now in that location. Sad that so many great theaters have bit the dust in Nashville.
