I’ve looked but failed to find any corroboration that the Hill existed. Anyone have any good evidence that this wasn’t just a Film Daily Year Book typo?

The 1952 Theatre Catalog listed under Hillsboro NM the following: “Hill D. I. Exec: C. V. Jones, Robb and Rowley United Ct., 314 S. Harwood St., Dallas, Tex. (300)”

But that’s a perfect match for the Hill Drive-In in Hillsboro TX which opened Aug. 3, 1950 and was operated by Robb & Rowley United. That 1952 Catalog did not include the Texas Hillsboro, so it was probably misplaced.

It’s darned difficult to prove a negative, but it sure looks like the tiny town of Hillsboro NM never had a drive-in, especially one that held more cars than the town had people.
