I believe the drive in was next to the now present mobile home park according to Google Earth. The property is now part of the Jagoe-Public Co. Please see photo section.
I have read where H. Ford Taylor sold his “Ford” drive in located in McCamey to Frank W. Nelson who operates the Grand indoor theater and the “Circus” drive in also located in McCamey. This came from a 1955 Billboard article. I also corresponded with a McCamey resident telling me that Circus drive in was originally called the “Penn” drive, later called the “Circus” drive in. He said the “Ford” drive in was south of the “Penn” drive in which was completely gone by the time he came in 1965. But then another resident said it was called the “Circus” drive in first and later on called the “Penn” drive in. So I really don’t know what is actually true on these two drive ins. Still doesn’t answer the question about the two layouts being next to each other on Hwy. 385. Anybody else have a more accurate history on these two drive ins?
The drive in location has been developed into more baseball/softball fields since 2007. The address, 1450 Shepherd Access Road is correct.

A better address would be 3213 US-90 ALT., Shiner, TX
This theatre is closed and the building is for sale.
This drive in has been closed for a few years now.
The location of the drive-in looks to be closer to Highway 70 (College Drive) and Hillcrest Drive. Where the Hillcrest Plaza is at.

At kununu, the drive in you are inquiring about is the Showtime drive in.
Does anyone else know of the drive in that was once at the Cuddihy naval base?
