Seen on a site there were a few up in Monroe, Here's links to their pages.

It appears only 1 has anything left that could be photographed though.

Thanks for the Monroe info, linecrosser.

My parents would probably remember the older Monroe area drive-ins. (Dad was from Dundee, Mom was from Maybee.)

I know I saw a few movies at one of them when I was a kid - probably the Denniston location, but I'm not positive.

Hispeed, which ones do you have? There is a family-run DI out in Liberty Center called Field of Dreams and they're showing first runs in their backyard on 2 screens! it's fun! Their other DI is in Tiffin, they bought it and renamed it Field of Dreams, too, and their son runs it. Do you have the one out on US20 towards Fremont that is now a flea market on the weekends? Not sure of the name.

Nana...That is the Skyway. Closed in 1975 I think.
