The old Southeast 14th Drive-In movie screen hides behind a huge RV camper dealership. It can still be seen peeking through the trees back up the hill, but the driveway leading to it is locked with a gate. It is not clear when the theater closed, but it was still operational in 1993. It had one screen and could admit 600 cars.
The best place to view the old screen is at the little drive at the corner of E. 14th and Hartford Streets.
Current condition: Still stands but is used for other purpose (full or partial remains)
