April 1st, 1949 grand opening ad as Gala Drive-In in photo section. It opened in 1948 as Sawyerwood Drive-In.
I have many fond memories of this Drive-In theater. It was a real gem. Sorely missed. Wish I had a decent photo of the place. Would even purchase one.

Hey sher2112..do you have any pictures to share?
My Dad was the projectionist there for years. I miss going with him on Saturdays to fix speakers
Thanks SiliconSam,but I think I will pass on buying a unit.Thanks for the info.
It’s not a housing development but a commercial strip center. Several units for sale:

Interesting that the housing development kept the Gala Name.
It did park 475 cars and it was owned in the late 50’s by OHIO THEATRE SERVICE.
