Route 66The Green Meadow Drive-in in Springfield, IL is closed, though a go cart track sits in its place. The screen still stands erect, awaiting its next show... a show that may never come. The marquee is now covered with graffiti.

UPDATE 04/09 : Around 2004, the Green Meadow Drive-in took out the track and built a new ticket booth and opened up again with 1 screen. About a year later, they opened up the second screen and are open 7 days a week. The drive-in is now known as the Route 66 Drive-in. Many thanks to Scott Shanle for update. 04-09

Quite possibly the nicest drive-in in all of Ohio is the Springmill Drive-In. This place is definitely worth a stop if you are in the area. An open air movie a day keeps the doctor away. Yes, a tired but true phrase.

 

UPDATE 12/10 : The Springmill Drive In had added a second screen to their drive-in back in the Spring of 2009. Both of the drive-ins in the Manfield, OH area are doing quite well. The Sunset Drive-in and the Springmill Drive-in. Many thanks to David Hughes for update. 12-10

In Fairborn, Ohio, adjacent to the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, is the Skyborn Drive-In. Although the sign say "closed", this drive-in is still open for business. Great colorful marquee!
