Off the Interstate 5 in (yes) Santa Fe Springs is the remnants of the Santa Fe Springs Drive-in Theatre. This old classic is a permanent swap-meet with permanent sheds.

The Roadium is one of newer "abandoned" drive-in theatres. The screen and marquee sports great pastel colors. Now a swap-meet, stop here for pastel colored crayons and colored pencils. But be prepared to fight the traffic, especially on weekends.

The Studio Drive-in 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.

The Los Altos Drive-in met the fate of the bulldozer during Pacific Theatre's blitz at the end of 1998. According to the "sign-man" Mr. Albert G., the old marquee will be preserved by the city. Meanwhile, all that's left here are the memories...

South Bay Six Drive-in Theatre (Demolished)
Carson, CA

The South Bay Six opened to much fanfare in the 1970's. A self-proclaimed "state of art" drive-in with multi-screens, this open air rage is now permanently closed for remodeling. Perhaps the old snack bar will soon become a "Spires" restaurant?

Vermont Drive-in Theatre (Demolished)

The Vermont Drive-In in the South Bay was once the 4th remaining drive-in in the Los Angeles County. The site was gutted and new development is all around.
