Boxoffice, June 22, 1957: “The Graceville Drive-In is the new name under which the former Spears Drive-In will be operated. It has also been operated in the past as the Jackson Drive-In. Roy Butler, the present operator, has closed the Jones Drive-In which he has been operating in Graceville, and will devote his full time to the Graceville.”
Found it. The theater was located at the intersections of Garner Street and White Avenue. A 1955 aerial view was very dense but you can see where the screen and the concession stand is but the traces were so bright because it was located on possible farmland. This is probably short-lived, as a 1966 aerial view shows that it was already demolished years beforehand.
It’s reverted to farmland by 1966. Still farmland today.
