The Sunset Drive-In suffered damage from a fire in 1959. It was still open in 1967. It was owned by J.M. Mann.

Anyone have an address, more info or photos?
U.S. 25 & Ross Rd, Brunswick, GA 31520
The above address will map accurately to the location of the drive-in, which is visible on Google Earth using historic aerial imagery.
Here is a 1951 aerial photo of the drive-in, courtesy of Earth Explorer and USGS.
Wow, still visible today to some degree.
Above address does not properly. It points to the southern intersection. The drive-in was at the northern end. Use 4145 Norwich Saint Exd (public works) to map. The outline is just south of this location.
Boxoffice, Jan. 18, 1960: “It is expected the Sunset Drive-In, Brunswick, will reopen Saturday (16) after having been closed due to a fire in the projection booth and concession stand.”
Boxoffice, Jan. 25, 1960: “S. O. Jenkins has reopened his Sunset Drive-In, Brunswick, Ga. It was closed for several weeks due to the effects of a damaging fire at the concessions stand”
The remnants of the drive-in remained until at least 2010, but by 2013 a detention center had been constructed on the property. There are no traces of the drive-in remaining.
