More info about the Twin Peaks' owner in the Feb. 21, 1966 issue of Boxoffice, on the occasion of his purchase (and closure) of the competing Lobo Drive-In. “Joe T. Davidson … had been in the general contracting business for 25 years in Detroit before moving to Texas in 1947, when he started building drive-in theatres. In 1951 he moved to Alpine and built the Twin Peaks Drive-In and has been operating it ever since.”
A later note recorded that Davidson, an Ohio native, died at the age of 75 on Dec. 21, 1970.
The Twin Peaks advertised in Alpine’s Sul Ross State University’s Skyline through at least the fall of 1978.
A 1984 aerial shows the drive-in intact, but the screen appears to be damaged.
Billboard, July 17, 1954: “About 1100 feet of pipe was laid by the Twin Peak Drive-In, Alpine, Tex., to pipe water from nearby well. Previously the water was hauled in.”
