Located on Highway 19 in North Georgia, the Family Outdoor Drive-In was opened by R.H. Head on August 6, 1948 and had a capacity for 200-cars. It reopened as the Skyview Drive-In on March 20, 1949 when it was owned by John Thompson. The Skyview Drive-In parked 406 cars making it one of the larger drive-ins outside Atlanta. It was still open in 1982, but possibly closed in the mid-1980’s.

I like the way you are putting all the drive-ins on CT. I do remember seeing a drivein in Jenkinsberg years ago. I do not remember what its name was but it was very small.
Now condos. Approx. address for this drive-in was 1780 Atlanta Road.
According to this article the drive-in on Atlanta Hwy was called the Skyview Drive-In.
