The screen tower was demolished in 2020 according to searches from Google Earth and Maps.
The screen tower is gone. I’m thinking the concession stand will be next.
I Found A Drive-In Snipe From The Late 1960’s “Coming Soon” Snipe That Says “NORTHSIDE (TOS) DRIVE-IN.” I Do Not Know Where The TOS One Is? Either This Or One Other Northside Drive-Ins.
So many amazing memories from this place as a lad, this was the real happiest place on Earth. Hope it comes back some day, this is just what the area is missing anymore.
Here is a You Tube Video
I just uploaded new pictures and an overview for the Fort Myers/ Northside Drive-In. I do believe that Fort Myers and City Drive-Ins where operated by the same people for a while before the City Drive-In closed in 1970. I have a picture of a movie bill with both theatres on it.
Above address does not map correctly. Use North Fort Myers.
The Northside Drive-In is reopening!!!!! They had there Grand Re-Opening of the Flea Market and NEWLY renovated snack bar, in 50’s diner fashion!!! They’re putting up a new screen and plan on opening either late December or January….you can go to winknews.com and watch the news story. I had the pleasure of having lunch there today and, WOW!!! The decor, the music and everything….it was like going back many years!!! I will be the first in line on opening night!!!!!
Here are my pictures from July 2012. The place is in decent shape.
Thanks Chuck for the great pictures.
