I think it's on 25A, right next to and just west of the Statuary, on Brookhaven Drive. There is a weedy plot of land with a broken down sign about a Golf Range. I think behind all this is a supposed Drive-In that I've never seen, but the remnants are supposedly there. This corner has been an eyesore for so many years and I don't understand how it could go disregarded for so long.

The entrance to the former Drive In and subsequent golf range is/was on 25A between Brookhaven and Westchester Drives. The Statuary is on the corner of Brookhaven, the entry to the old Drive in is between Sleepys and Rocky Point Statuary.

When did that close? It has to be at least a decade, given the size of the trees and brush.

Welcome! Which part of Ridge? I lived on Raynor Road from about 1973 to 1983 and then Madeline Way until 1988. I think Raynor Road has changed more.

The drive in was closed before I moved out there in 1991. The golf range lasted a few years in the 90's.

I remember shopping at a Sears Surplus near there when I was a kid.

Sear Surplus was there when I moved there, I believe it closed in the mid 90's.

Wasn't it in the shopping center next to the drive-in's entrance?

Yes. It was in the center of the shops. A sporting goods store (name escapes me) went in there shortly after Sears closed.

Thank ya! I'm on Marc Drive - off of Randall Rd.
