Located in the northern Florida near the Georgia state line is the small mining town of Jasper. In the 1950’s, Jasper had a place to park and watch movies outdoors, the Bar X Drive-In which was out on State Road 100/129 just past State Road 6. It was opened in late-1950 with Ray Milland in “Copper Canyon”. It was closed in 1959.

You would think most of The Sunshine State would just about have all the Drive-in Theatres on by now.The Jasper Drive-in,Rick,parked 200 cars and was owned by J.O.Biddle in 1956.
I’d been trying to research this one for awhile now. North Florida has dozens of forgotten theaters.
It was at about 4229 NW US 129. Nothing remains.
Wish I had more Andy.
Why the name Bar X
From the December 23, 1950 edition of Box Office: “The new Bar-X drive-in was opened on Highway 129 with Copper Canyon by J.O. Biddle.
Short-lived. It appears that it closed in 1959, as the screen was removed in 1960.
