The Raleigh Road Drive-In must have been located off U.S. 401 North
3619 Ramsey St
Fayetteville, NC 28311
The above address will map accurately to the locatiob of the drive-in, which is now the site of Laser Car Wash and Sonic Drive-In.
At least it still some type of drive-in!
The Raleigh Road must have opened by 1952, since the 1952 Theatre Catalog included it as one of five Fayetteville drive-ins. It was owned by H. B. Meiselman and had a capacity of 600 cars.
The Nov. 3, 1954 issue of Motion Picture Exhibitor included the Raleigh Road as one of the many drive-ins destroyed or heavily damaged by Hurricane Hazel. But it must have been repaired or rebuilt.
Motion Picture Exhibitor, Jan. 17, 1962: “FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. - The College Community Planning Board has advised that it plans to take legal action to close the Raleigh Road Drive-In, located near the new Methodist College campus. The drive-in, operated by H. B. Meiselman Theatres, Charlotte, was closed for a long period of time, during which the Planning Board passed an ordinance banning drive-in theatres in the area. Recently, the drive-in was reopened to business.”
