A closer address is 1550 S Florida St, Borger, TX.
Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right where the entrance was once located.
The drive-in was up and running in 1951, so it appears to have been completed and opened before then.
A 1959 aerial shows it demolished save for the screen. So it appears to have closed at least a year or so before then.
Today, most of the property is occupied by Pride Trailer Village. There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.

A 1959 aerial view shows the drive-in being completely dead, but the screen appearing to be standing.
jwmovies address information above is incorrect. 1415 W Wilson St is the correct address for the Plains Drive-In, not the Tri-City Drive-In.
Tri-City Drive-In was located at: S Florida St & Tristram St, Borger, TX 79007
Both the Plains and the Tri-City were open by the early 1950s. The Tri-City was closed by 1960, as it no longer appears in theatre catalogs, and is completely demolished in the 1969 aerial photos.
Plains Drive-In still appears in 1969 aerial photos at the W Wilson St address, and is still listed in the 1969 theatre catalog.
Please update the address for this listing as:
Tri-City Drive-In S Florida St & Tristram St Borger, TX 79007
Approx. address for this drive-in was 1415 West Wilson Street. Now Hampton Inn & Suites.
