The address is: 802 East Martintown Road #101, North Augusta, SC 29841 ????

Is this the correct location?

and that is a crying shame, the two major Augusta papers hardly even carried the LENOX THEATRE,which was a very nice theatre,pity folks couldn’t get along…

Mike, there is another thing you might want to take into consideration, a lot of the colored theatres didn’t advertise in the regular newspapers, therefore it is hard to find out how long there were open.

1953 ad uploaded here. It should clear up where it was. It may had been in North Augusta,SC

I don’t think it was open until 1975.I am pretty sure about that.My 1956 Motion Picture Almanac has it still open as late as 1956.

Anyone know the location of this drive-in in Augusta?

It was an Afro-American drive-in, but you could probably guess that from it’s name and I found it it was open from ABOUT 1953-1975? I hope someone can check those dates out and find out more info.

I have just about done all of Augusta’s Drive-ins.

Don’t know if the BOOKER Drive-in will get any more info than what I wrote,but anything would be great.One of the few Drive-ins in Augusta that no one really knows about.
