A more accurate address (at least for Google) is 4615 Lindbergh Dr, Jackson, MS. Basically, I-220 runs right over the property just to the west of this address. http://tinyurl.com/hheqxpx

From the Dec. 12, 1951 issue of The Exhibitor: “Reports are that Mr. and Mrs. George Harris received $40,000 for the Skyvue property, which includes 11 acres of land near Jackson, Miss. This was revealed in a deed filed with the Hinds County Chancery Clerk. The purchasers were M. A. Lewis, Jr., Richard Parker, and unnamed associated of the Skyvue Corporation, which owns and operated the 51 Drive-In. Richard Parker also owns and operated the Starlite, Canton, Miss.”
