A closer address is 5286 Whiskey Rd, Aiken, SC.

Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it just behind where the projection booth use to be.

The 1971 aerial shows the screen is gone. As the same photo shows a shadow cast from the still standing projector booth, but none from the line where the screen used to be standing.

Despite the screen being gone, the properly looked remarkably well kept in 1971. Today, it is totally overgrown with trees and no trace of the drive-in remains.

An edition of townhouses sits where the drive-in was once located. The drive-in connected to Prospect Street and not the turnpike, but the entrance was removed.

A closer address is 4271 Lake Ave, Buffalo, NY.

As the aerial photo shows, the drive-in was on the west side of I-90. It was totally demolished and today a strip mall known as the Shoppes of Lake Avenue sits on the property.

Only part of the entrance & exit roads still exist which leads to the large parking lot of the strip mall.

Kenmore commented about Dixie Drive-In on Jan 9, 2026 at 2:49 am

After looking at the 1983 aerial, the drive-in definitely appears closed.

There is no evidence of the screen, but admittedly that is difficult to tell because of all the overgrowth. Which is also a strong indication that the drive-in had closed.

Add to the back fence being gone and the entrance road also overgrown and safe to say that this drive-in most likely closed in 1978.

And totally demolished by 2006, Advantage Self-Storage now sits on the property. There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.

As of September 2025, the land is still for sale. It appears to be a gravel dump. Only the outline and foundation of the projector booth/concession stand remain.

The property is now a disc golf park and all traces of the drive-in are now gone.

It appears to have closed before 1980. That aerial photo doesn’t show the screen in place. In fact, it appears to have been closed for some time.

A closer address is 1508 Co Rd 111, Tyler, MN.

Pretty much all traces of the drive-in are gone. Save for the entrance and exit roads and foundation of the projection booth/concession stand.

A closer address is 14019 Daggett Pine Rd, Crosslake, MN.

Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right on the property.

All that remains is the outline, faint hints of ramps, and the entrance road. Judging by its current size, it certainly grew from holding only 75 cars in 1956 before it closed.

The ramps are not visible anymore. There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.

Kenmore commented about Sky-View Drive-In on Jan 2, 2026 at 11:43 pm

A 1970 aerial shows the drive-in intact, but looking worse for wear. So, it was probably closed by that point. By 1983, it was demolished.

Today, the Sunset Drive Thru gas station sits on the property. There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.

Kenmore commented about Inwood Drive-In on Dec 31, 2025 at 12:15 am

The drive-in’s entrance connected to both Pedal Car Drive and Winchester Avenue, but the current address is just fine.

A 1964 aerial taken two years after it closed shows the drive-in intact, but not in the best of shape. By 1971, it had been completely demolished. And 11 years after that, all traces of the drive-in had disappeared.

Kenmore commented about Fort Drive-In on Dec 29, 2025 at 6:01 pm

A closer address is 2174 Millville Rd, Harpers Ferry, WV.

Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right on the property.

A 1988 aerial shows the drive-in had been turned into a flea market and the screen is no longer there.

Today, the Flea Market is gone and the property is abandoned. But the entrance, outline, ramps, and concession stand/projector booth still remains.

A closer address is 1550 S Florida St, Borger, TX.

Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right where the entrance was once located.

The drive-in was up and running in 1951, so it appears to have been completed and opened before then.

A 1959 aerial shows it demolished save for the screen. So it appears to have closed at least a year or so before then.

Today, most of the property is occupied by Pride Trailer Village. There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.

Kenmore commented about Pitts Drive-In on Dec 26, 2025 at 10:04 pm

Found it, the address is 1213 N Mildred St, Ranson, WV.

The drive-in was located just on the north side of Charles Town, but Google Maps lists it in Ranson.

The drive-in appears intact and operational in a 1955 aerial. But by 1974 it was totally demolished and turned into a trailer park.

Today, it is a small housing edition with no trace of the drive-in remaining.

The outline, ramps, entrance road, and foundation of the projection booth/concession stand remain.

The building that sits where the original screen used to be was constructed sometime after June of 2013 and before June 2016.

Today, a building sits on the property.

The only trace of the drive-in remaining is the entrance road, which snakes up the small rise to the parking area on the north side of the building.

The latest Google Map shows the property to be a cornfield. The only trace of the drive-in remaining is a few feet of the entrance road.

Kenmore commented about Point Drive-In on Dec 22, 2025 at 4:54 am

It does appear from a August 2025 Google Street View that the drive-in did re-open. It’s marquee lists “Weapons” as one of the films which was released on August 8th, 2025.

The main screen has not been rebuilt, but the two screens on the back of the property are standing. So, I’d say the status can be changed to “open”.
