An item saying that frigid weather had delayed construction on the twin drive-ins being built by Esquire Theatres of America at Menands, New York, appeared in The February 6, 1966 issue of Boxoffice. Construction was slated to resume in May. The project was to include a small conventional theater on the same site, but I haven’t been able to discover if this was actually built or not.
Boxoffice, April 20, 1970: “Fabian Theatres notified exchanges and service people the circuit would assume operation of Tri-City Twin Drive-Ins, Albany-Troy Road, effective Wednesday (1), it was reported. Esquire Theatres of Boston had conducted the local exchange’s first outdoor dualer since its opening in August 1966 … Tri-Cities has been a year-round movie spot - weekends only during the winter.”

The western section of the drive-in is an open field. You can just see the hints of ramps and the general shape is still present.
