Sky View Drive-In

Well folks, I'm about at my whit's end...I've needed a licensed electrician and plumber since August of last year. Anyone that I've tried so far has either been too busy to take it on, never responded to calls and messages, or scheduled to come look at it and then ghosted me like a toxic girlfriend...Tri-county has cut the power to my temporary until I get a licensed electrician, so I can't even work on it in my spare time.

Sorry folks…it’s been a while since we last updated. We finished sealing the roof. Almost all of the wire has been run and we’re fixing to start on the plumbing…After that we have the counters to install as well as our ceiling, paneling, and of course having the projector set up.
A big thank you to Jason Ford for coming out with his tractor and removing the poles and putting all the trash in the dumpster.

The Sky View Drive-in was opened in 1953 with a capacity for 300 cars. If you have an old photo of the Sky View we'd love you to to post them in the comments.

We are excited to announce we have purchased and are bringing the historic Sky View Drive-In back to life. We just completed demo of the main building insides and have begun renovations. Our first goal is to get her open and start showing movies for the summer so that families have a place to get out of the house, grab some hot buttered popcorn with a cold coke, and enjoy a movie under the stars. We will be playing new releases and classics! Invite your friends to follow us as we share our progress and get close to our opening day. Stay Tuned y'all!
