Wow! How strange is this?? TO be renovated then tore down? Sounds fishy to me as it sounds to me, that some one or some people did not want this drive in to re-open!!! AS it sat unused for many years.

I just read these latest comments. Giving us high hope that this drive-in was going to be revived, then suddenly it’s demolished. I don’t believe it

Yep, I checked. It’s demolished.

The Redland Drive-In was once under a judgement rule in May 1952.

Yes, the drive in has been torn down.

Is the land in that area red, hence the name of the drive-in theatre?

Some (possible) awesome news!! This drive in is being revived!! The newspaper in the area is stating that this is to reopen in late May 2021! This is some great news! GOOD LUCK on getting the ole Redland going again!! Light up that screen!! Best. Randy A Carlisle RAC Photography

A closer address is 4479 U.S. 59, Lufkin, TX. This will accurately mark the drive-in on Google Maps. http://tinyurl.com/p5n3rhd

I Really Like This Place. Its Always Been The Thing To Catch My Attention When Going Down 59. I Wish I Could Buy It. I’d Love To Buy It.

This drive-in is now for sale! It would take quite a bit of work to get it back in shape.
