The date of this photo at the Skyline Drive-In is unknown, but it is from many decades ago. The business opened in June 1948 on Route 19 south of Clarksburg with the capacity for 400 cars. It looks as if nearly everyone from those cars were in line at the eatery before the movies got started in this image. It closed in 1985. The sign for the business is still there today.
