New Moon Drive-In T-Shirt (Premium Lightweight)

The New Moon Drive-In in Lake Charles, Louisiana, opened on April 9, 1953, as a twin, with room for about 1,000 cars. Each screen's back faced the road as a huge dark grid with a white moon on it. The building in the middle of the lot held a 400-seat auditorium upstairs, with air conditioning and central heat, for anyone who would rather not sit in the car.

One projectionist recalls that sound over a car radio ran down many batteries. It was still running in the early 1980s and gone by the 1990s. A driving range kept the name.
