The drive-in was triplexed a few years before it closed, by adding two screens at the back of the lot and an addition to the projection building. I toured the facility with the owners a few years back, and the main screen is not in good shape. The snack bar and projection buildings also have suffered major water damage and a storage room roof had collapsed.
