Sneak a peek at the Sandusky Drive-in Theatre screen
tower that still stands tall after all these years.

One of the "coolest" drive-ins in the Cleveland Metro area
is the Miles Drive-in. The Miles stands out among the 4 within
the region because of its great-looking screen. This theatre is believed
to be virtually unchanged since it opened in the early 1950's.
UPDATE 09/06 : The gorgeous art-deco Miles Drive-In in Cleveland has been torn down. It stood dormant for years but was razed this past August. This style of drive-in is the most sought-out, yet the rarest to find (let alone operating). Many thanks to Mark Hackett for update. 09-06
UPDATE 01/07 : The Miles Drive-In in Cleveland, Ohio was located less than a mile from my house, and I got many chances to wander around there at various times of the year. This Drive-In had been closed for at least ten years but the place was like a time capsule, everything was still there as it was the day it closed. I am sad to say that she is no longer standing, the whole site was demolished this summer for redevelopment. Many thanks to Michael Sawyer for update. 01-07

An open-air theatre close to Route 66,
the Skyview Drive-in Theatre sports a space age marquee. The Skyview
still blasts off every evening, lighting the skies of Belleville, IL.

in the Ohio area? The Melody Drive-In is still in business, offering
its customers a look at a classic drive-in theater.

In the mood for a relaxing drive-in movie
while in the Celina, Ohio area? Stop by the Lake Drive-in. The
Lake sports a great-looking marquee by the roadside. Also adding to the
personality of this theatre are the red helmet-head lamps alongside the
driveway.
UPDATE 06/11 : The Lake Drive-in is closed up now and is up for sale. They are planning to sell it and it will not be opening anymore as a Drive-in Theatre. Many thanks to David Hughes for update. 06-11

Off of State Route 59 is the Midway Drive-In Theatre. This Ohio
landmark still survives, possibly because of its proximity to Kent State
University.
