Coles Drive-In T-Shirt (Premium Lightweight)

The Coles Drive-In in Loudon, Tennessee, was running by 1951 on Lee Highway, with room for about 225 cars. A commenter's account names William and Mildred Cole as the first owners, with five children working the theater and the family's A&W root beer stand next door.

Popcorn was 10 cents. The Saturday night bingo game was the real draw, and on the Fourth of July the grand prize was a car. It was still open in the 1980s and gone by 1997.
