The Memphis Democrat newspaper shows that Bill Boren, the son of Hollis Boren opened the Drive-in Theater in Memphis, Texas. The name “Tower” was selected by judges as the name of Hall County’s new drive-in theater. Leroy Beavers submitted the name and won a lifetime pass to the drive-in. The Tower Drive-in was open by September 25, 1951. Lyndon Craven purchased Tower Drive-in in Memphis in November of 1976.
A closer address is TX-256 & Co Rd C, Memphis, TX. The drive-in was located about a ½ mile W/SW of the intersection indicated on the map on the south side.
Today, a private residence sits on the property with only the faint outlines of the ramps visible just to the west and south of the house.
