The sign out front was posted as “Skyler Drive-In” located in Schuyler, New York, approx. 3 miles east of Utica. I went here as a teenager in the 1970’s to see the adult features. It was a twin screen theater…screen 1 usually showed first-run feature films and screen 2 showed the adult films. This drive-in was pretty popular in its day. I did some research some years ago at the Utica library. The last listing for any movie showing was Sept. 1985. The site was abandoned and fell into disrepair. Then in the early 2000’s it was renamed the Schuyler Business Park. The old screens, already 90% gone, were torn down along with the sign. Two firms occupy th park now…Wilcor Distribution Center and a firm that manufactures wood pellets for stoves. I have nothing but the fondest memories of this place. My last date there was July 2, 1983.
