The Mitchell Drive-In was opened in July 1949 when it was operated by J.T. Mitchell. Now an empty lot, part of the entrance road is still there. Some ramps though barely visible are also still there.

A closer address is 2025 Old Baton Rouge Hwy, Hammond, LA.
The address is just a few feet from the entrance road of the drive-in. You can see the drive-in in a 1954 aerial looking operational.
However, by 1965 the drive-in may have closed. While still intact, there is a structure behind the screen that appears to partially block the entrance.
By 1974, the drive-in had been partitioned with trailers occupying the east end. By 1998 the entire drive-in had been demolished.
Today, the only remnants of the drive-in is part of the entrance road. A June 2022 Google street view shows the property as empty.

It appears that the Mitchell Drive-In opened several days before the Cave Tangi Drive-In had its own opening in July 1949.
