mr wingo….the 51 drive in was actually north of town in millington. i had a really bad wreck pulling out of there when i was a teenager.
Both of the drive-ins in this neighborhood now have photos and pages of their own.
Nice pictures vastor!!
The Summer Drive-In is fully digital.
I remember my mom and dad taking us to go see THE KARATE KID II and TOP GUN in 1986. Good times..
I haven’t seen a car on to of a drive-in sign(possibly unique?)!!
Three screens on April 25th, 1986, and four screens on March 13th, 1987. Small opening ads.
