I grew up in Ballinger as a child and definately remember going to the HorseShoe and the HillCrest Drive-In’s. First movie i saw at the Horseshoe was Shenandoah……..remember it well! Can’t remember much more but that drive in was a definate! I also remember the location and until a few years ago the tall pipes remained standing where the screen was. I have 4 attached metal chairs…..red that sat at the concession stand. I bought them many many years ago. They will never be detached. We also had 3 walk-in theaters….wow. Ballinger Texas was surely hoppin then….HOW SAD….Suppose to be the friendliest town in texas….that’s bull! I’m back here but work in a neighboring town. Just have to pray daily that Miracle Grow plant doesn’t blow Ballinger off the map!
