I-20 is now Hwy 49. This one was taken out because of the freeway exapansion.
Now Rally (like Burger King) @ 1805 Hwy 80 W, Jackson, MS 39204.
Please update.
Update: The Jackson Drive-In stopped showing films right after the 1959 season. However it was used as a special event in 1960. So it might’ve been closed in 1960.
Correction: The Jackson Drive-In is the second oldest drive-in in the Jackson area and in the state of Mississippi behind the Silver Slipper, opening its gates on October 17, 1941 with Cary Grant in the 1937 film “The Awful Truth” along with the Three Stooges short: “Violent Is The Word For Curley” (1938), and a Grantland Rice Sportlight: “Bowling Skill” (1940).
I mistakenly said something while typing this because I thought this is the first but its the second because the nearby Sliver Slipper opened 2 years prior to the Jackson, oops.
