When you map this using the address W. Arapaho & N. Floyd Rd. it shows this location as being in Richardson, Tx,. 75080. Two other online sites list the drive-in in Richardson, Tx. There is no footprint of the former drive-in when you do an aerial of this address.
Dallas Area drive in theater ad from 1963.
It was at the intersection of W. Arapaho and Lindale Lane, just 2 blocks to the East. The Wellington at Arapaho retirement community is in the old drive-in location.

PLEASE CHANGE ADDRESS AGAIN AND FOR THE LAST TIME TO:
600 WEST ARAPAHO ROAD
RICHARDSON, TX 75080
The Wellington Retirement Home is now on the site of the drive-in.
The Cinema Treasures group works very hard to provide an excellent quality, free website. It is miles ahead of anything else on the web and requires many hours, a lot of volunteer work and a lot more money to keep it up and running. Their number one objective is accuracy.
Better talk nice…..they can pull the plug on ya anytime they choose.
Don, I’m guessing your refering to “AGAIN FOR THE LAST TIME”. You took it the wrong way, I meant it because the address had already had been requested to be changed by SiliconSam and it had in fact been changed and I was now again asking it to be changed “AGAIN FOR THE LAST TIME”. Perhaps I could have worded it better? Your comment would have been better to have been sent to me via my email which you could have gotten by clicking on my name, but here it is, if you have any further comment.
Whats the big deal about a theatres address,when the theatre is not there anymore,Bob?Thanks Don Lewis.
The big deal is, simply, historical accuracy – someone might use this site as a reference source. The originators of this site are well aware of this – it is, no doubt, one reason they started this site.
Also, those of us who use this site regularly are aware of our debt to Mr. Lewis, Mr. Smith, and Mr. Holcomb. It is not possible to put a price on their work.
Thanks matt54,the point i was making that address,s do change sometimes what was the correct address 35 to 40 years ago might not even be the same today,that happens.I am well aware of the contributions of many people on this site.
Don, I want to say thank you for all the hundreds upon hundreds of contributions that you have made to CT. Think of how fewer theatres and drive-ins that would be listed if it weren’t for you. I have worked with you many times on addresses and you did the same for me. Street names change and most of the time the mapping will pull up the street by both the old and new name. Address numbers change and that can sometimes be a problem but easily rectified with a little time and research. What once was an accurate address can change with the re-numbering of a street. Sometimes a type listed it N instead of S or E instead of W can create a small problem but again a little research will correct the problem. So when we see something that needs to be corrected just submit the correction in the comment section and it will be updated. Again, Thanks Don for all your wonderfull contributions. At least you haven’t made it into a personal blog.
