This appears to be a very early DI and wasn’t there long. I don’t see it on any of the Topographical Maps, but the outline/ramps are visible in the 1959 and 1960 Historic Aerials, but it’s obvious the drive in is no longer functioning at that point. By 1971 there isn’t any hint that a Drive-In used to be there.
I think the site is now a golf course?
It’s private property with a home and pool. There is no trace, not even a hint of ramps remaining.
