This opened in May 1950 at 2217 Rowesville Road and closed in 1987. Adult movies 1973-1987. I was able to confirm the location after I saw the Bon-Air grand opening ad. There was a very short-lived called the Azalea Drive-In opened in 1955 only.

The Edisto closed in 1983 as a cinema.

Could this be the old Reliance theatre that opened in 1914 and closed in 1941?
