Name of this drive-in was Denton Road, not just Denton. Owned by same outfit that owned the Garland Road (which was later razed to make room for McLendon’s Apollo Twin) and the Hampton Road Drive-Ins.
The Denton Road Drive-In owned by Leon Theatres had its grand opening on 23, June 1950. The Denton Road closed in 1973. The address listed in their opening day ad was
11325 Harry Himes
Dallas Tx. 75235.
From 1963 a Dallas Area drive in theater ad.
Need to update the address in the header (11325 Harry Himes)
I used to live in that area, it’s defiantly Harry Hines Blvd…… (note spelling of Hines)
Sam, thanks for the spelling correction. It is even spelled in the book.

This was never known as the Denton Drive-In; from its opening in 1950 to its closing, it was ALWAYS the Denton Road Drive-In.
