A closer address is 185 Bowens Mill HWY, Fitzgerald, GA as indicated by jwmovies. The nursing home uses the same entrance as the drive-in did.

You can even see remnants of the entrance road for the drive-in which is all that remains.

Both the Fitzgerald and the Skyway Drive-Ins were very close to each other. The Fitzgerald was located on 163 Bowens Mill Highway, Fitzgerald, GA 31750, and the Skyway is located on 131 Justice Ave, Fitzgerald, GA 31750. The Skyway closed sometime in the early-1960s, while the Fitzgerald Drive-In closed sometime in the late-1970s.

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