On “The Speaker Post” on Facebook, I post a min video of them disassembling the screen.. July 30th 2024
I also took several photos of the area.. Playground equip still there but in sad shape.. Swings appears to be in decent condition tho..
They were dug up and moved away from the screen..

Hate to mention but this is NOT open as a theatre.. Hasn’t been in a while! IT was last known as a club, Stereo Live Dallas was its' last occupant and now appears vacant again! March 2024..
Sad, seems nothing last here for too long.. Seems like being a Bingo place was one of the longest ventures..

32.335700, -108.655226 . The Cement foundation for the projection booth and snack bar still shows up also..
The land still has the aerial view, showing remains of the drive in & outline until at least to now, present day.. U can see where the screen once was. Where the snack was, appears to still be some kind of structure there today.
