Memphis’s Jaxon Drive-In opened its gates on May 30, 1956 with Aldo Ray in “Three Stripes In The Sun” along with four unnamed cartoons.

It was closed in 1970 and demolished in the mid-to-late 1970s to make way for an interchange of Interstate 240 which its former street name of Jackson Avenue became the Austin Peay Highway.
