TomMc11 you are close but the drive-in (twin) was north to Sundowner Drive to Elmer’s Industrial Dr. which cuts across the parking ramps. There are three or addresses you could use for the location. Take your pick!! See aerial 1985
GPS is best way to locate drive-ins. Addresses change over the years…
GPS Coordinate’s :44.692263, -85.654010
Ok, after some serious research the actual address is 228 US 31 South Traverse City, MI 49685
The address that jwmovies provided IS in fact a drive-in, but not this one. In checking out the info over at:

something wasn’t adding up. Upon looking up Traverse Bay Marine, which is the business at the address I have provided, you will note that it is at the corner of US 31 and Sundowner Drive, and that the old marquee for this twin screen ozoner is STILL standing and being used by Traverse Bay Marine. The address works fine for Google Maps but you’ll have to scroll a little north on Historic Aerials to find it. Its remains are clearly visible, screens included, in a 1993 Historic Aerial.
The address listed is incorrect.
The address for this Drive-in is 5600 US-31, Williamsburg, MI 49690.
This area used to be part of Traverse City. Mount Hope Road now runs through the property. Some ramps are barely visible. Now there is no screen on the property.
Please update.
The marquee is still used by an adjacent retailer.
