A closer address is 1308 Junction Hwy, Kerrville, TX.
This is the address of a McDonald’s that sits where the entrance road once stood. A strip mall now present where the ramps, projection booth, and concession stand once stood.
A 1995 aerial shows the drive-in without the screen and projection booth. By 2004, it was totally gone with no trace remaining.
