Located next to a new recycling center, are the Valley's days numbered? Only time will tell. Near the recycling center in back of the drive-in is one of the dustiest areas around. Porterville Drive-in Theatre Porterville, CA RoadsidePeek.com If you travel up Route 99 to Porterville, stop by the Porterville Drive-in Theatre. This place is worth a visit, especially a look see at the strange marquee. (Left) The screen tower still up and displaying movies (Far left) Odd-looking marquee that looks somewhat like a brochure holder. Madera Drive-in Theatre Madera, CA RoadsidePeek.com Just 20 minutes or so above Fresno is Madera County and the Madera Drive-in Theatre. No marquee for the drive-in other the then one on back of the screen could be found and the screen tower was relatively nondescript. At least a classic water tank was nearby. Check out the ticket booth and the entranceway to the drive-in theatre that was originally named the Park Vu. Skyview Drive-in Theatre Santa Cruz, CA RoadsidePeek.com The Skyview Drive-in Theatre near Santa Cruz, California features a nicely kept marquee. Like the Madera, a small billboard is located on back of the screen tower. This theatre is still open. First run movies were showing at this drive-in. Skyview Drive-in Theatre (Demolished) Salinas, CA RoadsidePeek.com Yes, Virginia, this is a nice ticket booth. Although the guard inside was slightly... let's say... red in the face (doubt it was the sun), the Skyview Drive-in Theatre of Salinas appeared in decent shape. Just don't go in while clean-up crews are picking up after the swapmeet. Or when fog is covering the screen tower. Update 07/06 : The Skyview was demolished on July 9th, 2001 to make way for construction of a school building.
