The Bayou Drive-In opened during the late-1950s, as a 1955 aerial view shows a house on its site. It operated for around a decade but I cannot confirm its closing date. The traces were gone during the early-1980s but the screen was still standing into the late-1980s.

I’m very sure the Carroll made it to the 80s, despite the fading traces.
