The Hi-Way Drive-In was opened on May 2, 1950 with June Haver in “Three Little Girls in Blue”. It was operated by Jimmy Earnhardt. I was told by the Postmaster in Creswell that she remembered going to this drive-in and it was demolished shortly after it closed and turned into a farm field. The address above is my best guess as to her explanation of where it was.

Based on a 1952 aerial photo from NETR Online, it appears the drive-in was located where two baseball fields currently exist just south of the Habitat for Humanity.
Apart perhaps from the entrance/exit road, no trace of the drive-in remains.
Based on Kenmores information this address should change to 1366 N. Broad St.
By the Google map view it looks like there might also be a remnant of the base of the ticket booth at the end of the entry exit road toward the back of the lot.
Minor note: its name is the Hi-Way 17 Drive-In (not Hwy 17 D-I).
And remove note: “The address above is my best guess as to her explanation of where it was.” The address now provided is its former address.
The street number should be altered to 1366, Google has updated addresses and this puts it on the exact spot.
