One of two drive-ins in Fitzgerald, Georgia. The Fitzgerald Drive-In parked 150 cars making it the town’s smallest drive-in. No surprise here it was a Martin Theatre.

Open 1950-1975?
Open for sure in 1967.
Need an address, more info and photos.
U.S. 129 & Bush Ave, Fitzgerald, GA 31750
The above address will map accurately to the location of the drive-in.
Here is a 1971 aerial photo of the drive-in, courtesy of Earth Explorer and USGS.
Now Fitzgerald Nursing Home. Approx. address for this drive-in was 185 Bowens Mill Highway.
Both the Fitzgerald and the Skyway Drive-Ins were very close to each other. The Fitzgerald was located on 163 Bowens Mill Highway, Fitzgerald, GA 31750, and the Skyway is located on 131 Justice Ave, Fitzgerald, GA 31750. The Skyway closed sometime in the early-1960s, while the Fitzgerald Drive-In closed sometime in the late-1970s.
A closer address is 185 Bowens Mill HWY, Fitzgerald, GA as indicated by jwmovies. The nursing home uses the same entrance as the drive-in did.
You can even see remnants of the entrance road for the drive-in which is all that remains.
