The South Drive-In opened its gates on August 10, 1951 with Larry Parks in “Emergency Wedding” and Cathy O'Donnell in “They Live By Night” with no extras.
The South Drive-In closed on October 12, 1980 with “Airplane” and “The Hunter”.
According to the old topo maps, it appeared that the South Drive-In sat a bit “crooked” for lack of a better word.
Instead of running due north/south, it appears that the drive-in was laid out SW to NE just like Blue Grass Farms is today which sits on the site.
I think the theater was located where WAXT radio station use to reside on 53rd St. The new radio station is located west of the original station.
