Sunset Drive-in Shinnston, WV |
The Sunset Drive-in opened in 1947 and is still in operation. There is a residence built into the screen tower. The Ellis Restaurant next door is owned by the same family and the businesses share the same sign. For more, see this website. [map] |
Skyline Drive-in Clarksburg, WV |
Jungle Drive-in Parkersburg, WV |
I believe the Skyline Drive-in was built around 1950 and closed around 1985. The arrow has been rebuilt and the sign advertises for the A-1 Exterminating Co. [map]
The Jungle Drive-in opened in 1953. Originally, there was a giant ape at the entrance and workers dressed in jungle-style outfits. The theatre closed around 2013. For more, see this website. [map] |
