Old aerials don’t show a drive in at that location, but maybe 3 blocks away on Park St. there’s an old decrepit drive in there. Is this the place?

In 1956 it was owned by J.E. Duncan.

N Park St & Old Bremen Rd, Carrollton, GA 30117

The above address will map accurately to the location of the drive-in, which is visible on Google Earth using present day imagery.

@Chuck: Earth Explorer has quality aerial imagery available for 1955 and 1972. Both those years showed the drive-in as being on what is now N Park St & Old Bremen Rd.

50 years ago that might have meant 471 Linda Lane. Who knows?

Neither of those years (1955 and 1972) showed any other drive-ins, or residual hints of previous drive-in activity.

Old Bremen Rd intersects N Park St in twice, causing the mapping to be thrown off. The address in this post will map accurately. Sorry for any confusion or inconvenience.

Looks like it opened in 1950.
