I found advertisements in the Newnan Times-Herald newspaper through September 1979 for the drive-in.

The location of the drive in is actually south of Lake Ridge Way on U.S. Highway 29. The house on Lake Ridge closest to the highway would’ve been where the screen was located.

The above address will map accurately to the location of the drive-in, which is visible on Google Earth using historic aerial imagery.

Here is a USGS topo map which notes the location of the drive-in, courtesy of Earth Explorer and USGS.
