The name ‘Jet’ came about because Lefty Cheramie and Dick Guidry wanted a modern name that was short because neon was expensive. They opened the drive in in 1952 and I believe the screen came down around 1983. I would be happy to answer any questions about the Jet Drive-in or Jet Cinema. I am Dick Guidry’s oldest.
