Eastmont Plaza currently occupies the site of the drive-in, which is on the south side of Atalanta Highway near Watson Circle.
I remember seeing dusk till dawn horror movies up there.Near the last, film the fog would come in and mess up the screen and ended up having to leave.When I was not living in Montgomery, we were visiting my grandma and pa, who had a farm down the Atlanta highway.I remember being the Panavision converter version of how the West was won up there too.I use to play in the playground too, they had a small merry go round.I use to play in it a lot before the season film started
