The above address will map accurately to the location of the drive-in.

I checked with Ray and doggone it, he had never heard of this Drive-in. I still think it closed why before 1989. I am hoping Tony B. of the old 56 Drive-in will get on CT. hope Ray tells him about it. Tony would know all about the Dixie Drive-in.

Bob, I can check with Ray Hutto he might know. i know the Bellamy brothers Tom and Tony reopened their parents old Drive-in Hi-way 56 for a few years before closing it for good. Ray has a theatre he built it is on CT, Southside Cinema.

It is a pity the Hi-way 56 Drive-in had to close after a long closure.With both the Dixie and 56 gone i guess one would drive to Atlanta to see a drive-in.
