Lights Out: Abandoned American Drive-Ins

Madison Skyway
The area where cars would park to watch movies at the Madison Skyway is still clear, although the area around the screen and marquee has become overgrown with trees and other vegetation. The exact opening date of the theater is unclear, but most likely it was opened some time in the 1940s. It remained in operation a very respectable 40-50 years, until it closed in 1989.
The neon marquee is still intact but is getting more obscured by vegetation with every passing year. The green screen tower was sadly torn down in the mid 2010s.
