Opened on 13/8/1969 on the north screen with “Mackenna’s gold” and “The Silencers”, and on the south screen with “Bullitt” and “Cool hand Luke”.
The correct address for this Drive-in is 11055 Airline Hwy, Baton Rouge, LA 70816. The Drive-in entrance and exit roads are occupied by the car dealership next door. Some ramps are still visible behind this address.
Please update.
I worked there I think it was 72.. Anyone know of others that worked there about that time. 71-73.
It comes up correct on Bing but not Goggle maps. Like I have said sometimes Goggle maps are off.
Above info is incorrect. Though very, very overgrown, most ramps are still there! From Google Maps, look northward to Crestwood Suites and you can make out the outline just west of the hotel.
This opened on August 13th, 1969. I have uploaded an USGS aerial and an grand opening ad here.
