Hello Jack,
There was indeed a Hi-Wa drive in theatre in Thomasville, Ga. As a teenager and before, I attended it many, many times in the 60’s. I had great times there. There was an area down in front of parking that was a concrete pad with seats. You could actually sit there if you didn’t want to sit in the car and under the screen there were kumquat tees and, of course, we kept those emptied.
It was located on the Tallahassee Rd. just before you get to Pinetree Blvd. and where a small shopping center is now on the left. There is now a couple of convenience stores adjacent to it and a breakfast place directly across from where it was. None of this existed then. I haven’t lived in Thomasville for many years and now live in Moultrie. I’m not sure when they demolished it. It was a fun place with many memories.
