It appears that the Mitchell Drive-In opened several days before the Cave Tangi Drive-In had its own opening in July 1949.

A closer address is 2025 Old Baton Rouge Hwy, Hammond, LA.

The address is just a few feet from the entrance road of the drive-in. You can see the drive-in in a 1954 aerial looking operational.

However, by 1965 the drive-in may have closed. While still intact, there is a structure behind the screen that appears to partially block the entrance.

By 1974, the drive-in had been partitioned with trailers occupying the east end. By 1998 the entire drive-in had been demolished.

Today, the only remnants of the drive-in is part of the entrance road. A June 2022 Google street view shows the property as empty.
