The Twin Ranch Drive-In was just down the street from the Tejas-Aztec Drive-In, both on N. Navarro Street. The Twin Ranch Drive-In was opened on February 28, 1952. It was operated by Long Theaters until at least 1957. Later renamed Gemini Drive-In, there is actually a street named Gemini Drive where the Gemini Theatre entrance used to be. It was closed on October 12, 1980 with “Reflections” & “Misty” on screen 1 and “He Knows Your Alone” & “Windows” on screen 2.
