The address is: County Rd 400 at US 183 Seymour, TX 76380.
It opened up as the Brazos Drive-In,in 1950. It looks like it was open until the mid 1980’s. It was still called the Brazos Drive-In. The header needs to be changed.
The flyer would be great..you could scan it and put it on your desk top. In the photos section where it says add photo. Just click on that and find it on your desktop and submit it. Or you could take picture of it and put that on your desk top. Do same thing..
Drive-in motion picture theaters had a reputation for being ‘passion pits’ almost from the very beginning. In 1957 a bill was introduced to the Ohio General Assembly by two Montgomery County delegates to ban unmarried persons under eighteen from attending movie theaters after midnight unless accompanied by parents or guardians. The measure was sponsored by State Representative Jesse Yoder and Charles W. Whalen, Jr. Yoder told the committee he had introduced the bill because “people are disturbed by the goings-on in drive-in theaters after midnight.”
Harold B. LeCrone, assistant county prosecutor, told the house judiciary committee that “illegitimate births in the county are stemming primarily from one drive-in.” He did not name the offending theater. “We know it must be happening,” LeCrone continued. “The bars close and the dregs are using the places. They go off in a corner of the drive-in and park. It’s a little cheaper than renting a motel.”
Robert Wile, of the Theater Owners of Ohio, testified against the bill.
“You can’t blame the illegitimate birthrate on the drive-ins because we are cheaper than motels. You should also keep eighteen year olds out of motels.” He also stated that enforcing the law would be difficult since it would take theater operators “hours to check all the cars after midnight to see if there were any minors in them.”
Part of the problem was due to the fact that during the early 1950’s some of the local drive-ins began having all night movie marathons. The last movie of these ‘dusk to dawn shows’ sometimes didn’t end until 4 a.m. or later.
Drive-in theater owners as far away as Troy, Miamisburg, Eaton and Springfield met at the Belmont Auto Drive-In to discuss the problem. They agreed to drop the dusk to dawn shows after November 2, 1957.
“When we saw they (dusk to dawn shows) were hurting the community, we decided to stop them,” said Edward Parker, owner of the North Star Drive-In. “One of the theater operators had been holding out because he felt he was catering to a number of second shift factory workers, but we changed his mind.”
The house judiciary committee shelved the bill after hearing that the number of films being shown would be reduced to three, which meant the box office closed at midnight. Owners also agreed to patrol the theater grounds for “unacceptable” activity, such as lovers and drinkers.

Between 3140 and 3150 it does not make any difference in the location. 3140 Arkansas 10, Booneville, AR.works just fine….SMH
I checked my notes and I got the address wrong…It was on the wrong side of the street. Plus I uploaded a better aerial from 1960.
It should be: 1916 ME-4 Jay, Maine. This should work.
Is is a good a reason why CT should be using GPS coordinates along with the address. It would save time and be more precise in the location.
Hopefully if the website is updated they will add a box for it.

County Road 9 and Starlite Drive, West Lafayette, OH 43845 Works just fine!!!
9959 US 23, Lucasville, OH 45648 Works just fine!!!
