Opened as the Skyway Drive-In for African American audiences on April 13, 1952 with “Johnny Allegro” and “Kill the Empire.”
A closer address is 5521 E Rosedale Street, Fort Worth, TX.
The drive in appears intact and perhaps operational in a 1957 aerial. But by 1963 it had been demolished.
Today, several businesses occupy the property with no trace of the drive in remaining.
