The Bayou Drive-In opened during the late-1950s, as a 1955 aerial view shows a house on its site. It operated for around a decade but I cannot confirm its closing date. The traces were gone during the early-1980s but the screen was still standing into the late-1980s.

Its most likely that the building was painted immediately after opening.

I’m very sure the Carroll made it to the 80s, despite the fading traces.

Appears operational in the 1983 aerial view, but was already gone by 1985, meaning that it closed around 1984.

A 1952 aerial view shows empty land, meaning that the Al-Mar most likely opened during the mid-1950s.

On December 16, 2018, the Cinemark 14 became national headlines following the suicide of one of its male employees during evening rush hour. According to authorities, the 911 calls came in around 6:30 PM when officers respond to a report of a dead man’s body in a storage closet inside the Cinemark. A lot of moviegoers were confused on why there’s a lot of police cars on scene but was confirmed to be the man’s suicide.
