This drive-in theater opened in 1950. The Twin City’s ads boasted a “large playground for the kiddies” and “mosquito control nightly”, which is a must in southeast Texas. On Tuesday and Wednesday nights, 70 cents would admit a carload!
The Twin City Drive-In operated year-round. A December 1953 advertisement for the theater invited patrons to “…drive out early. Enjoy a delicious meal at our snack bar - fried chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs, and many other treats”. It was operated by Julius M. Gordon of the Jefferson Amusement Co.
Sadly, the Twin City Drive-In closed in 1983, and the site has been redeveloped.

Oh wow!! I love that!! Thanks for posting this and sharing it with us.
You’re welcome.
Above address is incorrect. It was further south @ about 3926 Avenue H.
Now Enterprise Rent-A-Car. The western border for the drive-in is still there.

Boxoffice, April 7, 1951: “George L. Western of Yoakum, Tex., has been named manager of the Twin City Drive-In Theatre, succeeding E. W. Grisham, who resigned to accept a position in Richmond. The drive-in, which is owned by Mart Cole, is located between Rosenberg and Richmond.”
