Yes, it is (unfortunately) true.  When I drove by the day before yesterday
they had taken down the screen.  They've had a sign on the marquee for
months now saying that a Home Depot was coming soon.  I'll definitely
miss it (sniff, sniff) -- a nice, cheap date if there are two decent 
pictures playing, and a good way to see the movies you wouldn't even pay 
matinee prices for.

I'm not sure if the movie theatre adjacent to the Edmonson Drive-in
is slated to be demolished or not.  It's been getting some stiff 
competition from the new movie theatre down the street, and the
building is in a fairly grungy state even with the recent renovations.
(Though, to be fair, I haven't seen any mice the last few times I've
been there.)

On the up side, for those who care about such things, the drive-in marquee 
now reads that they've found a new location for the Saturday and Sunday 
flea market.  I believe it's moved to the Elkridge Drive-in, but I'm not 
100% positive.  (If anyone is dying to know where the flea market has 
moved to, send me some mail, and I'll take care to read the marquee the 
next time I drive by.)
