“The Twin Pines Drive-In, Longview, has opened its new patio dining area which has a Hawaiian motif. Bamboo and palm trees help create the atmosphere and the menu is built around Hawaiian favorite foods. The patio, from which the picture can be seen and heard, may be reserved by party groups.” — Boxoffice, July 4, 1960

The concession stand/projector room for the Twin Pines was the site of a gay/lesbian club called The Rainbow Club in the mid/late 80’s. It was burned by an arsonist sometime in the late 80’s.
An article with several photos of this place appeared in Boxoffice magazine, September 15, 1956:
