All signs point to a 1955 opening.
Independent Film Journal, Jan. 22, 1955: “J. P. Edge scheduled opening of his new Blue Sky Drive-In at LaFayette, Ga. for around the 15th of Jan.”
Motion Picture Herald, April 30, 1955: “The Blue Sky drive-in, La Fayette, Ga., owned by J. P. Edge and Dr. T. A. Cochran, has opened. Wil-Kin Theatre Supply supplied the equipment.”
Motion Picture Exhibitor, June 8, 1955: “Dr. T. A. Cochran and John P. Edge, owners, Blue Sky Drive-In, La Fayette, Ga., feature 400-car capacity and a 100-foot screen.”
The drive-in was still intact in 1982, but it’s difficult to tell if it was operational. By 1985, the drive-in was demolished. By 1993, the entire property had been razed which removed all traces of the drive-in.
Today, a post office sits on the southern part of the property.
Closed around 1982, demolished in the mid-to-late-1980s.
