Just a bad year for the Eupora.

Boxoffice, Oct. 26, 1970: “A storm resulted in screen damage to the Morrow Drive-In at Calhoun City, Miss., and the Eupora Drive-In at Eupora, Miss. Both of the airers were forced to close temporarily while repairs were being made."

A closer address is 10 Bowen Rd, Eupora, MS.

Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right on the property.

Boxoffice, June 1, 1970: “Billy Bowen, owner of the Europa (sic) Drive-In at Europa, Miss., has had to close the airer temporarily after fire destroyed his home. Bowen said that while he was trying to get his residential problems solved he didn’t have time to operate the drive-in. He hopes to relight it soon.”

A closer address is Co Rd 116 and Co Rd 276, Eupora, MS.

A 1960 aerial shows the drive-in intact. But a 1971 aerial shows a dirt track constructed on the southeast side of the property. It didn’t last long as by 1980 the track was gone. However, the drive-in may have still been operational.

Today, a business occupies part of the property, but you can still clearly see the outline and faint hits of the ramps remaining.
