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...

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 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.

For more information, see Roadside Peek's Lost Treasures tribute to the Vermont Drive-in Theatre.

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?
