Pulaski Drive-In Movies History
The Pulaski Drive-In Movies in White Marsh, Maryland, opened on July 6, 1950, as the General Pulaski Drive-In, with three cartoons and two features. It stood at about 11339 Pulaski Highway, the stretch of U.S. 40 northeast of Baltimore named for the same Revolutionary War general. Milton Schwaber operated it, and it held 700 cars.
By about 1983 it had two screens, and a contributor says they faced each other. Another wondered how the cars were supposed to park for the second one.
Its sign is the thing to remember: a big dark brown panel with a curved top, PULASKI and DRIVE-IN in white, MOVIES in large gold letters, and a swoop on the right ending in a round target of orange rings, above a letter board numbered 1 and 2 with an arrow pointing right.
It closed on November 1, 1984, playing all four of the first Friday the 13th films on screen 1. A later photo shows the board with nothing on it but the word CLOSED. A contributor said in 2024 that townhouses were going on the property.
