From Wikipedia:

Beverly Drive-In Theatre

Beverly Drive-In Theatre opened May 29, 1948, as a cinema structure in Forrest County, Mississippi. It was operated continuously by the original owners until 1987, then reopened in 2001 under new management. Following substantial damage to the infrastructure by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the Beverly Drive-In never recovered. In 2008, the drive-in was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 2010, a fire of unknown origin destroyed the facility.
