Thanks again Mike.
Boy, There are alot of Drive-ins in Texas.
Its a big state.
Approx. address for this drive-in was 715 N University Ave, Lubbock, TX 79415. Now a ballpark.
One of the things I remember most about Texas during my stay there in the summer of 1991, lots and lots of open land and lots and lots of abandoned drive ins, even explored a few of them!
My fading memory remembers the drive in picture with the Red Raider on his horse.
Site is now Westerner baseball and softball fields.
