This drive-in was operating until at least a few years ago from my recollection, but at this point in time I have not found its last operating date. Its most recent use appears to be as a go-cart track. The Stuart drive-in looks essentially in tact but sits in the sun awaiting an uncertain future.

I bet this palm tree has seen plenty of eager film goers over the years, but it will see no more.
