Where was the Monroe Road Drive-In Theatre? I think it says 'just beyond the hi school'.

Pretty cool that Atlantic Beer was brewed in Charlotte circa 1948
Anon 3:34 - yes, a coworker says Atlantic had a long run in Clt. I'm gonna investigate! Tx. Maria
I've never heard of Airport Amusement park, I wonder what other parks Charlotte had between Lakewood Park and Carowinds
Totally forgot about Airport Amusement park but went there several times in the 50's and early 60's. It was near the airport and I got to see a Constellation landing nearby.
