The Stardust 17 Drive-In Theater was also known as Strand Twin Theater. Located on the west side of Grafton, the Stardust held 300 cars and hosted movie showings for decades. According to one online account, the Stardust 17′s screen blew down in a windstorm in October of 1991. There were some initial discussions about getting the drive-in going again, but cost put the brakes on a recovery. The theater has been empty for years. The place is in a state of disrepair. All of the window speakers are gone. The concession stand’s roof is caving in, and the ticket booth has deteriorated significantly.
