Drive-in Theatres Main | LA County | Orange County | San Bernardino | So CA Main Pages Residents in Los Angeles County have watched their drive-in theatre treasures fall by the wayside in recent years. As the population density increases and people move further away from the main city, drive-ins that were once located in the outskirts suddenly find themselves sitting on prime land. And then there are two... or were... The L.A. County area now finds itself with just 1 open drive-in... the Vineland. The most recent one to fall was the Fiesta 4 (formerly the Whittier) and the Azusa Foothill has been closed for a couple of years now. Here at Roadside Peek's L.A. County Drive-Ins, see what's remaining, both open and closed.
One of the last of the Route 66 drive-ins, the Foothill Azusa in the friendly city of Azusa is a single-screener to boot! The nearby Azusa Pacific University has taken over ownership of this site with the interest of extending its campus/parking. Yep, they're about to pave paradise and put up a parking lot. Azusa Drive-in Marquee Update 07/06 : The screen tower was torn down several months ago. 07-06 Update 02/07 : All that's left of this drive-in is the marquee. Painting has been going on, though the word is the neon will not be replaced. 02-07

Off the10 freeway in Rosemead, CA is the magnificent marquee of the old Starlite Drive-in Theatre, with star still intact. The screen was removed long ago. This is another one of the drive-in come swap-meet sites.

behind the drive-in lot, leading many to believe that the end of the road
has come for this Pico Rivera treat. However, the drive-in recently celebrated
its 50th anniversary which should count for something.
colorful paint scheme and lettering on it's marquee and screen tower was
a fixture in the area. Unfortunately, the big bad boom-mobile took over
and leveled this old drive-in to the ground in early 1999. Drive-in aficionados
have not been the same since.
