The Byrds View Drive-In opened in 1949 and as far as I can tell it closed in 1949. The ad for the grand opening is dated Sept. 10, 1949. In the late 40’s a resort community was planned near Lake Louisa called the Blue Ridge Shores. The community of Blue Ridge Shores is still there today but for some unknown reason there is no mention of this drive-in after 1949.

This drive-in was built to serve the soon to be built Blue Ridge Shores community. Since I can only find it listed for one year, its possible that it was closed and the land was used to build the Blue Ridge Shores community.
Mr.Memory,you are awesome.Does your seer stone reveal what the indoor theater’s fate was in Louisa?
Well, my seer stone must need new batteries because it didn’t reveal to me that there was an indoor theater in Louisa. Would you happen to know the name of the theater?
the indoor theater in louisa burned in the 50’s, was replaced by a drive in that closed late 80’s i think, a bank is on the site of the indoor theater and a mini storage at the site of the drive in
Kscara,if you are still into CT since your last post was 2006.Louisa.Va. had the Tally Drive-in in the late 50’s.It parked just 200 cars and was owned by Independent Theatre Service.
