Starlite Drive-In History

    Rochester's fourth drive-in opened on June 17, 1949, and was located on Brighton-Henrietta Townline Road in Henrietta, NY. The final year of operation was 1983, and is now the site of a BJ's Wholesale Club.
    I am still in the process of researching pictures and the car capacity of this theater. If you know how many cars this theater held, or if you have any pictures of this theater, please send me an e-mail!!
