Hunterdon Drive-InReferenceLocated in a sprawling field roughly halfway between Lambertville and Ringoes, this drive-in is now long gone, but I recall driving past it many times in my youth before its demise. Opened on October 27, 1950, the drive-in had a 300-car capacity; opening night tickets were 60¢ and free to children under 12. It ended operation in 1987. The aerial was taken in 1972. Incidentally, given the movie being featured, the photo below of the entrance was taken around the time the drive-in opened. This nice clear aerial was taken in 1972. Taken long after the drive-in closed, this undated photo of the screen may not even be the right one, but if it's not, it's probably very close.
