Lights Out: Abandoned American Drive-Ins

Starlite Drive-In

Of the thousands of drive-ins that existed in the United States in the last half of the 20th century, a large chunk of them were named either “Starlite” or “Starlight” since the connection between Hollywood stars and the night stars was just too alluring. This particular Starlite Drive-In is located in Schertz, Texas, and although the screen tower is gone, the beautiful marquee and ticket booth are still visible from the road. The ticket booth is boarded up, but it’s a great reminder of the past on the edge of a modern housing development.
