Name changed to Sunset Drive-in on 22/11/1959 opening with “John Paul Jones”.
Opened In 1947.
The correct address for the Skyline Drive-In is 2328 W. Andrew Johnson Hwy, Morristown, TN 37814. The two aerial photos posted here are not the Skyline. They are actually shots of the King Ridge Drive-In, which is on the east side of Morristown. Comparing these photos with the Historic Aerial satellite shots verifies this. Also, the Skyline was renamed Sunset on November 22, 1959.
Thanks SS.
Just type the town and state into Google and see if it even maps out. If not, then the town no longer exists or it’s misspelled, which is more likely. And an incorrect ZIP code can throw things off too.
I was going by what my 1956 Motion Picture Almanac had.I assumed they knew.I thought it was Morristown,but kept seeing Morriston,They have messed up more than a few city names to where i even hate putting a town down,but have to,Silicon SAM.
One more time here….

3630 E. Andrew Johnson Hwy is the closest spot.
Right where the T shaped driveway is now, used to be the place you’re talking about.

However, the name of the town needs to be changed to Morristown. Does anyone check maps before submitting theaters?
There was a drive-in located at about 3932 US 11E East, give or take a few lots. There doesn’t appear to be any trace of this theater. There was another drive-in at or around 2296 US 11E West. This area is all commercial sprawl now.
