The above address will map to the location of the drive-in, which was demolished for the construction of 35th Street, which goes straight through what used to be the concession stand and the screen tower.
Here is a 1966 aerial photo of the drive-in, courtesy of Earth Explorer and USGS:

I have done a complete upgrade to the Tuscaloosa movie theatres and uploaded it at View link 10 grand opening ads are found.
The map link above throws the location way off, (to 24th St; not Avenue) according to the print ad. Greensboro Ave is AKA 24th Ave., but I can’t find any mention of the Rosedale School mentioned in the ad. School has either been renamed, or demolished long ago. Anyone else know?
Dale Drive-In location seems to be all commercial buildings now, or the Sahama Village Cir. Somewhere near this intersection.
