Yardworks LLC setup here now. As of 2012, looks like the concession/projection building is still sitting dilapidated on the back end of the property.

A closer address is 12290 Patterson Ave, Richmond, VA.

This is the address for Yardworks LLC and is right on the property. The concession stand/projection booth was demolished by 2013. Today, there is little recognizable of the drive-in on the property.
