Approx. address for this drive-in was 3401 North 14th Street.
A 1981 aerial shows the drive-in long demolished with what is now B&D Threefold Collision Center on the property. The drive-in probably closed in the early-mid 1970s, perhaps earlier.
Today, most of the property is an empty field and you have to squint to see any vestiges of the ramps.
