Based on aerial photos, the Highway 59 expanded by three ramps between 1962 and 1964. They also added a house behind the back ramp, but the house was gone by 1973, even though the screen was still up. The screen was gone by 1981.
Something is happening to the property as a February 2020 Google Street View shows considerable clearing going on.
Boxoffice, July 21, 1956: “W. W. Blakey, owner of Pop’s Bargain Barn on Jensen drive, has opened his Humble Drive-In two miles south of the Humble highway on Highway 59. He sold his business in Houston and is living in a house trailer at the airer. Blakey was a projectionist for 15 years some years ago. He is his own operator now, with wife Mattie Lee running the concessions.”
