The address in the heading is incorrect. THE MIDWAY DRIVE-IN was on U.S. 90 in Westlake, “midway” between Lake Charles and Sulphur.

Same drive-in? The Independent Film Journal reported on April 4, 1953: “Owners Guidry and Duplisses will also open their 900-car Surf Drive-In, Lake Charles, around April 15, for year-round operation and 3 to 6 changes weekly."

Still operating in 1969, but was completely gone by 1981, meaning that it closed during the 1970s.
