Cool photo.
The 360 Drive-in parked 421 cars,so somewhere another spot was made.maybe they made the manager park out by the box office. The 360 Drive-in was owned by L.W.Lee.
Here is my picture from December 2010. A church takes up the front part of the lot.
The 360 Drive in was not on River Street. In those days US 360 had a different route. It was located on Old Richmond Road, which is now Virginia Highway 360, not US 360.
This drive-in was located at Richmond Boulevard (Hwy 360) and Justin Lane.
Please update address to 1614 Richmond Blvd.
Opened with Susan Hayward in “Tap Roots” along with a Bugs Bunny cartoon, a Woody Woodpecker cartoon, and an Andy Panda cartoon (all unnamed).
A closer address is 1748 Richmond Blvd, Danville, VA.
This is the address of the Faith in God Temple of Praise which sits in the center of the property.
Today, the ramps have faded, but the general outline of the drive-in is still present.
