The Rosebowl Drive-In..........R.I.P. |
| The Rosebowl, in Ashland, VA on Route 1, was another drive-in which was wiped out when cable tv and movie rentals came along. This drive-in was opened in the 50's I think, and closed in the 80's. For nearly it's entire last decade of showing movies, the main flicks were adult, however they did try second run feature films for a brief time before switching back to adult and finally closing for good. I took these pics in November, 2000. Don't bother looking for the remains of this drive in, pictured below. I drove by where they once stood on Thanksgiving Day, 2002, and everything was gone. |

Take a right off Rt. 1, go down a long winding road, and you're there. |
Needs a fresh coat of paint......for starters. I wish I could have snagged this for my front yard. The neighbors would have loved it. |

I don't think this will light up again. |

But I bet it looked real cool lit up at night. |
The other "Enter" sign. Notice the bird's nest. |

This is a view from Route 1. The drive in was located through those trees. |
