50sSNIPES commented about Bayou Drive-In on Mar 1, 2026 at 11:36 pm

The Bayou Drive-In opened during the late-1950s, as a 1955 aerial view shows a house on its site. It operated for around a decade but I cannot confirm its closing date. The traces were gone during the early-1980s but the screen was still standing into the late-1980s.

I’m very sure the Carroll made it to the 80s, despite the fading traces.

Appears operational in the 1983 aerial view, but was already gone by 1985, meaning that it closed around 1984.

50sSNIPES commented about Al-Mar Drive-In on Mar 1, 2026 at 3:58 pm

A 1952 aerial view shows empty land, meaning that the Al-Mar most likely opened during the mid-1950s.
