Opened by Gulf States in 1970, the Showtown Drive-In was the last new drive-in to be built in Baton Rouge and spent 6 years as the only outdoor outfit in the city after the closing of the Tiger Drive-In, in 1978.

The Showtown Twin Drive-In had a North and South Screen, and was consistently popular and open year-round. The theatre was still pulling patrons after the chain has stopped running it during early-1984, but it soon closed and was razed to make way for a Peterbilt truck lot.
