Varia Drive-In T-Shirt (Premium Lightweight)

The Varia Drive-In in Jackson, Mississippi, opened on October 20, 1950, on Highway 80 West. Its opening ad placed it exactly at the crossroads of the South, highways 80 and 51. No one seems to know what Varia means. A commenter asked in 2022 and got no answer.

Its neon sign had the name in tall outlined capitals with a stack of short bars down the side. Gulf States Theatres took over in 1963. The last bill, on April 29, 1973, was The Female Response and Helga.
