Chuck..it does show up on Goggle Earth from 1998
There’s a 1980 Historic Aerial now available on their site that shows the drive in intact.
Address is: 508 Winchester St. Geneva, IN 46740
I believe that was also the Geneva Drive-In.
Odd name!!
Why the name Limberlost?
The Limberlost Swamp in the eastern part of the present-day U.S. state of Indiana was a large, nationally known wetlands region with streams that flowed into the Wabash River. It originally covered 13,000 acres of present-day Adams and Jay counties
The Sept. 3, 1949 issue of BoxOffice noted, “The 300-car Limberlost Drive-In was opened August 19 by Clyde Nihiser, owner.”
Today, the property is an open field with only the faintest outline remaining.
