The Waco Drive-In was opened prior to 1955, when it was operated by Lone Star Theatres. It was later managed by Oscar Cranford. I found this information from the 1965 Waco city directory.

What an incredible screen tower! Don’t tell me, let me guess … the drive-in has closed and the tower has been demolished. I sure hope not.

Above is WAY, WAY OFF! Approx. address for this drive-in was 4100 North Interstate 35 Frontage Road.

Originally Blue Star Highway, a couple of ramps north of South New Rd. are still visible.

According to display ads and google the address in the header is correct.

Chuck1231 and jwmovies…looking at both TOPO maps from both locations. There was DI’s at both locations and they are not too far apart. So I’m thinking the address is right on the header since Chuck has seen movie ads with the address on it. So what was the name of the other DI that jwmovies has found?

Could have been the Circle Drive-In.

Chuck1231…Look at this movie ad I just posted from the Circle DI. Maybe jwmovies is right?
