Must be dead quiet at nighttime next door to a cemetery?
Next door to a cemetery, I must deal quiet at night? I bet people are dying to go this place now?
Its currently an empty lot, the foundations of the concession building and ticket box still exist. You can still see the ramps, but its right next to a cemetery and I reckon they will eventually expand it over the old drive-in site.
Billboard, Jan. 26, 1952: “New spot under construction at Killen (sic), Tex., will be known as the Rancier Drive-In, according to Ace Clary. National Production Authority recently granted approval for the project, and the open-airer is expected to be ready for a March bow.”
I spent a lot of evenings in the playground at the base of the North Screen of the Rancier Drive-in. My Dad was the projectionist for the South Screen when I was in elementary school.
