The marquee was removed sometime between August 2018 and July 2022.
An October 2023 Google Street View shows the ticket booth still intact, but Mother Nature is taking over and the drive behind the ticket booth looks to be overgrown.
If this is going to be reopened, they will need a new marquee.
Needs to be renamed PORT, and original box office should be reopened.
@R & D Drive-In Theatres - What is “frisby?”
Opened on 4th July 1952 with the Robinson-Maxim fight footage, selected short features(not named?), a technicolour musical (not named?), and “Red Mountain”.
It is earmarked to reopen in 2024. Joe Furruggio has owned it since 1978 & plans to run himself.
This drive in has been using the name “Port” Drive-In for several years now. It’s future appears to be dim as plans are to close it at the end of July this year as it may become a solar farm… Keeping my fingers crossed it will live on, but as of now, it’s going to close at the end of July 2022…
Youtube video of this defunct Drive In posted in August of 2014.

This Drive-In has been closed since Bob and Darlene retired prior to the 2012 season. There has been a new marquee erected (but not quite finished) with the name GEM Drive-In and a website at www.gemdrivein.com, but all the site says is “The Future Home of the Gem Drive-In” To my knowledge, the place has set pretty much in the same state of disrepair for the last 2+ years. I hope it reopens for the 2015 season, but it’s definitely still closed for 2014. Any clue who the new owners might be?
Unless someone else has taken over operation of this drive-in, status should be changed to “Closed”.
are you going to be open this year? since your board got knocked down? We saw it got taken away but I cant find any sites that have any info on this

Darlene Crouse, passed away, in May, 2011. She was 63, & ran the ‘Port & Pike Drive-in’s for around 10 years.
The Harvest Moon Drive-In 1st opened on July 4th, 1952. The film was Red Mountain, staring Alan Ladd. Comerford acquired it in 1956, remodeled the snack bar, etc. & changed the name to ‘PORT Drive-In. http://doctorgrooveband.com/moondrivein-photos-scrpbk.html
I made a small video of the 2008 season. It starts with the day we acquired it, until we closed & changed the name back to the Moon.

We just finshed up the 2009 season with a dusk to dawn show Labor Day Eve. Reopening in April, 2010. Thanks, Crazy Bob’s Harvest Moon drive-in theatre.
Starting in 2009, The Port drive-in will be known as the ‘Moon drive-in. When all of the factors are weighed, It justs makes better sense (& hopefuly, cents!). Thanks, Crazy Bob. http://moondrivein.com
Update: 2008. The Port drive-in now has a new owner. After many years, Bob & Darlene Crouse have retired. I have sold my interest in the Pike drive-in, & have acquired the ‘Port. This is a beautiful theatre. It was originally named “The Harvest Moon drive-in”. It was part of the Comerford chain. Here is the new web site: http://portdrivein.com Thanks, Crazy Bob.
Hi,
