This puts it right next to where the entrance of the drive-in once existed.
A 1963 aerial shows the screen gone.
By 1966, the drive-in was demolished with only the outline, ramps, and entrance/exit roads remaining.
By 1968, construction of I-20 was fully on the property with only hints of ramps to the south remaining. And today that is all gone.
A slightly closer address is 1020 FM78, Schertz, TX.
Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right on the foundation of the projector booth/concession stand.
A November 2024 Google Street View shows a sign that promises a Car Wash will be constructed on the property. But as of that date, most of the property is still untouched.
You can barely make out the outline & ramps along with the foundation of the projection booth/concession stand. The ticket booth stood until sometime between May 2022 and January 2023 when it was demolished.
The only things left standing as of November 2024 are the marquee and the screen, which is in pretty bad shape.
Today, there is very little left of the drive-in. Amenity Plant Products sits across from the old entrance road. You can just see the curved road outline of the entrance and where it connects to Mt. Pleasant Road.
The foundation of the concession stand/projection booth is still present. There is a small structure, possible a shed, that sits on part of the foundation.
Otherwise, the property is so overgrown with trees that only part of the outline still exists and the exit road which connected to Brinkerton Road is completely gone.
I stated that the old entrance roads to the drive-in connected to HWY 81. You can SEE that on Google Maps.
I also stated that I was not trying to change the address currently listed because that is how Google Maps defines it today. But only because the old entrance/exit roads are not drivable and someone put in an entrance on Richland Road long after the drive-in closed between 2003 and 2008.
However, if the old entrance roads along with the drive-in are re-opened, then Google Maps will most likely change the address back to the original one on HWY 81 at that point.
Having said that, it is nice to see someone champion Google Maps over original addresses. You may catch some flak for that as I have over the years, so be ready ;)
The drive-in was demolished. Only the outline, ramps, entrance/exit roads, and foundation of the concession stand/projector booth remains.
Today, the property is still undeveloped, but completely overgrown with trees. The old entrance/exit roads still sit intact on the south side of a storage facility which was built before the drive-in closed.
A 1983 aerial shows the ramps and what seems to be left of the screen.
By 1987, the screen was gone.
The ramps and outline remained until at least 1992.
By 2006, it was completely gone.
The outline is still present along with faint hints of ramps, the remains of the projection booth/concession stand, some of which may still be standing (hard to tell), and the foundation of the screen.
The old entrance has been obliterated.
But access to the property today is along the old exit road which also still exists.
Is there more information about when this drive-in was open?
There was nothing on the property until sometime between 1973 & 1983 when the church was built.
And while there is enough room behind the church for a drive-in (a small one), there is no evidence at least from aerial photos from 1983 to the present.
The drive-in at 2226 US-90 appears intact in a 1956 aerial.
But the screen appears to be gone in a 1961 aerial.
But it is tough to tell as some type of structure is present.
In the same 1961 aerial, the drive-in at 633 US-90 appears intact and operational. So, that might be a clue to tell the difference between them.
Today, it is private property and does not appear to be a business. But there are quite a few trailers, pallets, and general stuff scattered about the property.
A house sits where the screen once stood.
All traces of the ramps and outline are gone.
It’s difficult to tell, but it appears the projection booth/concession stand is still present. I say “difficult to tell” because both structures look like smaller houses. But they do resemble from the overhead view the same building(s).
Seems to have been demolished immediately after closing.
A 1981 aerial shows the entire property razed with what is now the North Freeway Business Center being built.
I’m not 100% on this, but the projection booth may still be around as well. A two-story structure sits exactly where the projection booth was located and has the familiar small windows on the second floor.
This photo is not from the Marshfield Drive-In, which was demolished by 1986. And covered in trees afterwards, leaving no room for an inflatable screen.
Demolished by 1986, the property remained empty until at least 2008.
By 2010, new building were constructed which wiped out all traces of the drive-in.
A slightly closer address is 1997 S Hwy 89/91, Logan, UT.
Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right on the property.
Today, the concrete frame of the screen still stands along with the outline of most of the drive-in. The property itself is heavily overgrown.
I see no practical way of re-opening it, at least with the screen as is since S 1000 W Road cuts into most of the property on the north and east sides.
A closer address is Hilltop Dr & Blume Dr, Richmond, CA.
This puts it at the intersection where the drive-in once existed on the northeast side.
Currently, the Courtyard by Marriott sits on the property, but it is no longer connected to Hilltop Drive. And with a direct address not desirable without Hilltop Drive, the intersection is as close as you can get.
A closer address is 1805 Hwy 80 W, Jackson, MS.

Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right next to the projection booth which appears to be intact.
As of August 2025 (Google Street View), the screen is still up. It’s not in good shape, but still up.

The screen was still standing in 2002, but gone by 2006.
There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.

A 1971 aerial showed the drive-in fully intact. Although I cannot say that it was operational.
By 1983, it had been fully demolished.
A 1963 aerial showed the drive-in had been demolished for some time. Most of the property sat virtually untouched for almost two decades.
Today, you can still seen hints of the ramps on the north side.
Is there more information about when this drive-in was open?

So, was this a temporary screen drive-in?
A closer address is 16621 State Rte B, Houston, MO.
This puts it on a house that shares the entrance/exit road to the drive-in.

Yes, it does appear that the projection booth/concession stand has survived and is in pretty good condition.
The overhead shows what’s left of the outline and ramps on the southeast portion of the property.

Both drive-ins had been demolished by 1969.
By 1984, the screen had come down.
Today, it is private property and does not appear to be a business. But there are quite a few trailers, pallets, and general stuff scattered about the property.

The drive-in still remained visible, although the screen appears to have been taken down, until at least 2002.
Today, the Hunterdon County Fairgrounds occupies the property with the parking area being where the drive-in once stood.
There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.
