2527 US-212, Watertown, SD will put you at the entrance to this old DI. It is visible in full in a 1966 Historic Aerial. Currently the road that the address drops you at is all that remains, but not for long.
2610 8th Ave SE, Watertown, SD 57201 is a better address.
mos of the ramps still remain!
Actually, almost all of the drive-in is gone. You can only see a faint outline of the drive-in behind the Country Inn & Suites.
The lines just to the west that reach to 31st Street SE are from an auto salvage yard that was built on the property after the drive-in had closed. The salvage yard is closed and the building demolished.
