The Broad Street Drive-In was located near the foot of Lookout Mountain, which was a very scenic location. It was opened in 1953 and was operated by Abe Solomon, Independent Theatres. I was still open in the late-1970’s when I drove by it. I believe Martin Theaters operated it at that time. It was closed about 1980. I know the screen has been demolished, but the concession/projection building remain in 2022.

Thanks.
Approx. address for this drive-in was 3515 Saint Elmo Avenue Chattanooga, TN 37409. It is now Ahern Rentals. Weird thing is after all those years the building in the center of this property is most likely the snack bar/projection booth.
Please update.
A closer address is 3510 St Elmo Ave, Chattanooga, TN.
This puts it right on the property. Today, it is home to Linda Transport. The property retains the general shape of the drive-in and the entrance/exit roads remain. But what is most remarkable is that the projection booth/concession stand still appears to be intact on the property.
