In a 1958 aerial photo, a drive-in that was still in pretty good shape was visible about 3 miles east of Lafayette on then-US 90. (I’d call it south-southeast of town, but you get the idea.) Hints of the ramps were still there in 1998, and the land was still vacant in 2013. By April 2015, it was occupied by an office products store. The address today is 3045 W Pinhook Road, Lafayette LA 70508.
