The Bath Drive-in of Bath, NY sports the familiar lettering "closed for the season" on its marquee. Let's hope this is only temporary. 11-00

UPDATE 07/07 : Just a note that Bath drive in has been closed since the fall of 2005, a very sad state for many of us here. However, as of July 20, 2007 it has re-opened with the Rat Movie and Pirates 3. It will be open weekends only hopefully for a long long time. Many thanks to Dave Bentley for update. 07-07

UPDATE 12/10 : The Bath Drive-in was open for the 2007 season. In the Spring of 2008, they re-named the Bath Drive-in to Papa's Place Drive-in. The drive-in only lasted for one season under the new name. The drive-in was closed after the 2008 season. . Many thanks to David Hughes for update. 12-10

UPDATE 12/13 : The Bath Drive-in is gone, destroyed to build apartments It's a shame that drive-ins are rapidly going the way of the dodo bird. Many thanks to Connie Weller for update. 12-13

The Star Lake Drive-in also sports the "closed for the season" text on its sign. Hopefully, the drive-in will reopen again. This Perry theater appears to be in great condition and the snow just adds to its freshness. 11-00

Over in Watertown, New York is the Black River Drive-in Theatre. Now obscured by overgrown brush, remnants of the Black River still remain, from the Marquee (left, bottom left) to the projection booth and screen tower (seen in the distance bottom right).

UPDATE 08/06 : Very recently, a local couple put a lot of work into the theater, building a new concession stand and refurbishing the screen tower and yesterday (August 18, 2006) the drive-in was opened to the public for the first time in over 20 years! Many thanks to Erin Bastedo for update. 08-06
