One of the last of the Route 66 drive-ins, the Foothill Azusa in the friendly city of Azusa is a single-screener to boot! The nearby
Azusa Pacific University has taken over ownership of this site with the
interest of extending its campus/parking. Yep, they're about to pave paradise
and put up a parking lot.

The Studio Drive-in Theater was a roadside eye-catcher for generations. Located
off Sepulveda Blvd. in Culver City, the Studio's immense screen with its
plain, yet appealing block lettering drew in motorists from afar. Alas,
the Studio met it's demise at the end of 1998.

A great roadside marquee was the Norwalk Drive-in Theatre. Drivers
passing through couldn't miss the massive marquee, beckoning one and all
to see a drive-in movie. But alas, this drive-in was roto-tilled in mid-1998.
