Opened as the Circle Drive-In in 1950. It went through a few name changes and finally settled on Last Drive-In Picture Show. This is also one of eight “mo-peds” in America (both a motor theatre and a walk-in).
The drive-in is open seven days a week playing a double bill. It is very much a family oriented venue as it does not show any R rated films. Audio is provided on FM radio. Admission is $10 a carload on Fridays and Saturdays, $5 a carload on all other nights.

There are some photos here, but the drive-in is called Town & Country:

Does that mean that Town & Country is an aka name for this drive-in?
Listed in 1975 as the Town & Country Drive-In with a capacity for 190 cars and 120 seats for the walk-in theater. Still listed in 1980 as the Town & Country Drive-In with a capacity for 300 cars. So Town & Country is an aka name.
Cool name.
The Marquee that is used by this Drive In was originally used for the Tem-Bel Drive In Theatre, located in Temple Texas.. As seen here —> http://www.drive-ins.com/pictures/txtbeld002.jpg ..
