The Circle Drive-In was operating by 1955. Now long ago leveled, it was named after and part of an unusual, but funtional intersection in Lubbock where five separate streets merged into what was known to Lubbockites as the “traffic circle”. It was actually kind of fun to navigate the traffic circle at times.

I show the address for the Circle Drive-In as 2517 55th Street, Lubbock, Tx.
The address has to be wrong. It would be more like the 1500 – 1700 block of 58th. I remember the circle as a little kid. 2517-55th is a neighborhood of houses, and is just west of University Ave. The Circle, was right East of Ave. Q and 58th Street.
In its last years it showed porn flicks and the former motel just behind it always had many on the second floor walkway watching free – who needed the sound?!
Here is the correct location (the triangle area was the theater):
