Boxoffice, Sept. 12, 1953: “Commerce, Ga. - James E. Jarrell, owner of the Roxy Theatre here, has purchased a site on the Commerce-Athens highway for construction of a drive-in, hoping to open next spring.”
US 441 was (and is) the highway between Commerce and Athens.
A 1956 aerial photo showed a drive-in about a mile southeast of Commerce on the west side of the highway, approximately where 627 GA-15 (then US 441) is today. There were dozens of cars parked there (a used parts lot?) in 1963. By 1981, the ramps were barely visible, and I can see no trace of the drive-in today.
