A closer address (at least for Google) is County Road 210 and Highway 9, Pittsboro, MS. The drive-in sat just to the south of the intersection on the east side.
As indicated, the ramps still remain. http://tinyurl.com/juw5b7v
The Twilite first appeared in the Motion Picture Almanac in the 1960 edition. It was listed under Bruce (a few miles away), capacity 275 cars, owner J. A. Thornton.
It was still open in October 1970, when Boxoffice noted that Bruce’s “Twilight” had closed for the season.
The MPA’s refreshed drive-in list in its 1977 edition still included the Twilite, now 240 cars, owned by W. Clark. The owner changed to M. Franklin in the 1980 edition. It changed again to B. Bowling in the 1983 edition, but the Twilite left the list in 1985.
