Opened in early 1950’s and closed in the late 1960’s. Area where the drive-in once stood is now zoned light industrial. It had a very large double sided single panel marquee with a large vertical above with the Circle name on it. It had a 450 car capacity.

This drive-in also included a playground area at the bottom of the screen. You can see these pictures at http://www.geocities.com/missy78214/circledi.html
Our family used to load up in the “car (or truck) of the day” with the best hot hamburgers you ever tasted that came in white paper bags from a place across the street from the Circle 81. I remember seeing Cleopatra (Liz Taylor and Richard Burton) Some of my best childhood memories
Timmeline given here is 1957 to 1967.
Here is a 1957 view of the marquee from drive-ins.com

This won’t map correctly as the street is New Laredo, not Loredo. The contemporary aerial view doesn’t show any part of the drive-in remaining.
Timeline from 1957 to 1967 must be right by 1956 Motion Picture Almanac has no such Drive-in listed,
