Thanks again for getting the picture with the Drive-in.Never thought this one would be around.
Front of the drive-in property is now occupied by LaFitte Cinema.
The “F” in LaFitte Drive-In should be capitalized.
The LaFitte Drive-In Opened Its Gates On October 21st, 1952 After Being Constructed Since April Of That Year With A 500 Car Capacity. Originally The Theater Is Planned In April Of 1950. It Is Closed In 1982.
The property on the south side of the creek (or channel) is now LaFitte Drive-In Park. You can still see the outline and ramps.
The property on the north side has no traces of the drive-in remaining. Even the small bridges which connected the north and south sides are gone.
