PLEASE CHANGE ADDRESS TO:
NE 14th STREET, OCALA, FLORIDA 34480
No longer seems to be a McDonald Road anywhere in the Ocala area. Also listed as on NE 14th Street.
Open ~1955-~1980? Anyone care to verify the exact dates?
On October 31, probably in 1958, NAKED IN THE NIGHT showed for 75 cents.
Sure could use the exact address, more info and photos.
With so many newspaper ads,Bob,most of them never gave a street address.Guess they assumed the Locals knew where the Theatre was,Be it a Drive-in or Downtown theatre.

The above address will map accurately the location of the drive-in. An Auto Zone auto parts store currently occupyies the property.
Here is a 1964 aerial photo of the drive-in, courtesy of Earth Explorer and USGS.
McDonald road became 14th with the renaming of all Ocala roads for the postal service. NE 25th Ave was Hillside Drive, I grew up on it a short distance from the Skylark. You could actually hear the movies at night from my bedroom depending on the wind etc. even though we were slightly over a ¼ mile away. The address listed above of 2701 ne 14th is right on.
