Car capacity in 1975 was 650.
Opened in 1951 by Lone Star Theatres. Was later operated by United Artists. Closed in the mid-1980’s.
From 1963 a Dallas Area drive in theater ad.
In the 70’s, when this drive-in had switched to showing skin-flicks, I seem to recall some major traffic jams due to accidents on R.L. Thornton Expwy caused (so it was said) by drivers paying too much attention to what was on the screen and not what was on the road!
IF the screen could be seen from I-30, then that was when it was a pretty new Drive In as the Trees are thick in that area now. Especially in the late 70’s, early 80’s, I seem to remember alot of trees in that area. Now the Linda Kay, you could see from Hwy 175! LoL. I remember that too! The Lone Star Drive In is another Drive In site that eventually DISD bought the land.. also, Drive In land bought by DISD was the Jefferson & the Casa View Drive In..
I’d say those memories of mine are from the late 60’s – mid-70’s, Randy. I remember being able to see the screen from R.L. Thornton, with little-to-no bushes or trees to obscure the view, but at that distance it wasn’t crystal clear. I figuew you had to know what you were looking for (I did)! As you note, Linda Kay was a completely different story – VERY clear!
