The Westerner Drive-In was opened May 26, 1950 with Barbara Hale in “And Baby Makes Three”. It was located on the northwest corner of the intersection of River Oaks Boulevard and Sam Calloway Road. It had three projectors, large snack bar, play area for children and outside seats in front of the snack bar for about 100. It held 500 cars.

It was demolished in the late-1980’s or 1990’s after being vacant for a period of time.

Would anyone know if the front of the original screen tower had a mural painted on it, and if so, what was it of? Thank you.
