Beverly Drive-in Theatre

After driving through nothing but the rural farmlands of Mississippi, the 100 x 75 foot screen of the Beverly Drive-In in Hattiesburg is a sight for sore eyes. The twin screen theater opened on May 29th, 1948. It suffered several closings during 1987 until it went under for good. In 2001 it was reopened and is being leased from the daughter on the original owners by the chain of Norton and Suick. Neon stars dance in blinking patterns on the backside which faces Route 49 and remnants of a miniature golf course are visible. The Beverly parks 500 cars.

Traveling around town in Louisville, Kentucky after watching a Cardinal game? If you have a moment, visit the Kenwood Drive-in. The theatre is fairly generic looking, but the marquee is an eye-catcher to passing motorists.

UPDATE 04/08 : Here is a more recent photo of the Kenwood Drive-in Theatre in Louisville. Many thanks to Rosalind Causey for update. 04-08

UPDATE 01/09 : The Kenwood Drive-in of Louisville KY has screened its last picture. The theater was to celebrate its 60th anniversary this summer, but it was not meant to be. The family favorite and city landmark will be greatly missed. No word yet on what the site will be used for. Many thanks to Rosalind Causey for update. 04-08

Another drive-in in the Kentucky area is the Mt. View Drive-in Theatre. Located in Stanton, the screen tower carries an interesting angle as it faces the road.

Here's one of the old refreshment trailers that used to be quite popular at the drive-in.

This Arkansas Drive-in Theatre still features a standing screen tower and snack bar. Not sure what the name of this gem is.
