The Westerner Drive-In was opened by 1955. Like many other drive-ins, this one featured “adult films” in its last years. Surprisingly, there was a dirt road on one side of the theater that offered a pretty good view. You could always find several cars parked along it at night. (So I am told) It was demolished many years ago.

This image file is of my irrigation well! This never was the location of the Plains/Westerner/Fines Arts Drive-in movie theater. ThePlains/Westerner/Fines Arts Drive-in movie theater location sat on the South/East corner of what is now 19th Street & Milwaukee.
Approx. address for this drive-in was 6419 West 19th Street, Lubbock, TX 79407. The entrance is now Sonic.
