I THINK it was open from 1961-1970, can anyone find out for sure?

It’s hard to think that the site of the,

University of Texas SW Med Center and

Pedratic Primary Care Center,

was a drive-in!

I like ads like that, it’s a good source for addresses….

When Ken mc had Nov.1963 I thought it might have to do with President Kennedy being Killed. I know the theatres here in Augusta cancelled the afternoon shows, but the evening shows went on.I guess on Nov.22 there were alot of dark screens that night.

What made me think the BIG D DRIVE-IN was in Dallas. It parked 750 cars and in 1956 it was owned by Childress Circuit.

I bet the Big “D” is for Dallas.
