Made a comeback in 1985 for three seasons as a Spanish language drive-in theatre, according to the local paper, closing in 1987.
I believe the dumpster company left in 2018.
Doesn’t look like it is used for trash bin storage any longer. Amazing how close this was to the Ft. Worth Twin Drive In. :-)
Closed 1978.
This opened on July 2nd, 1953. Grand opening ad in the photo section.
Looks like this site has been trashed!! This site is now used to store dumpsters.
Approx. location for this drive-in was Riverside Dr. just north of Hwy 30 across from Airgas.
i past by the old drive in today i was thinking about getting it restored.it does not look to bad for it to be built in the fifties.if anyone knows any information about this drive in,please i need your help in restoring this historical drive in.

Was a BMX bicycle track for awhile…Check out the bike mounted on the old marquee, if it’s still there.
At one time, THis Drive In was going to be re-opened, back in 1999/2000 if I remember correctly, BUT The plans fell thru.. It is used, I believe by Waste Management, for storing their dumpsters…….
