(Update: The Mayberry Drive-In Theatre at Smith Mountain Lake is permanently closed.) I am always looking for items of interest regarding our illustrious Smith Mountain Lake, and in the process, I recently experienced an odd sequence of events.
Last year I wrote a post about the new drive-in theatre due to open shortly at the lake and had not heard any more since. So I had begun trying to check on it when a question about what had happened to the plans for the theatre came in from a reader.
I had not uncovered any solid information worth printing, however, when I was reading Business Week online, lo and behold, found an entire article on the soon-to-open drive-in at Smith Mountain Lake! It seems they had reprinted an article from the Roanoke Times online. It is a great article and lets us in on some romantic details about the owners, as well as their opening plans for October, etc.
Rather than reprint the article a third time, I will give my readers the links for both articles and you can take your pick.
