The address for this Drive-in is 1207 S Bridge St, Morrilton, AR 72110.
This points directly to the entrance road which is still there next to Morrilton Retirement Home. The screen was opposite this location near highway 9 and Sandtown.
Please update.
The old roadside marquee/sign still remained as of April 2014 on Google Street view.
I managed this drive-in along with the Rialto downtown from December 1973 until July 1974. It was summer only Fri-Sat-Sun. Bootleggers set the boxoffice record at both venues.
An August 2019 Google Street View shows the marquee was removed. The retirement home seems to have closed by 2014.
Although the land has mostly been developed, you can still see faint parch marks of ramps to the north of the retirement home.
