This drive-in, which was in Navarre (of course) when it opened, is now within the city limits of Orono, which absorbed it in 1955. Its postal service must come from Wayzata, about seven miles away.

The address for this Drive-in is now 3600 Shoreline Dr, Wayzata, MN 55391.

This is no longer Navarre, although Navarre Avenue is a couple of blocks away.

Please update.

The Navarre Amphitheatre Drive-In was designed by the Minneapolis architectural firm of Liebenberg and Kaplan. It was scheduled for a spring, 1953, opening according to Boxoffice Magazine’s November 8, 1952, issue. The drive-in’s capacity was to be 575 cars.

A pencil drawing of the drive-in is among the Liebenberg and Kaplan papers collected at the Andersen Library of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.
