This one is demolished, and the Bronco Dance Hall stands on it’s site. However, the old marquee remains – and what a marquee it was. Full horses head with a sign beneath it. Search for the address in Google Maps – you can’t miss it.
There’s also a swap meet on the site, as well.
Change ZIP code to 79907 in map to make the map link work right.
Here is a BBE View of the current state of the property.
My 1954 El Paso phone book lists this drive in as North Loop Drive In Theatre. “Drive Out Tonight In Your Car For Comfort And Privacy.. There Are Always Top Features At North Loop”
Address listed back then was 8420 North Loop Rd. ULstr 9-9211
The North Loop Drive In, and the Bronco were two different theatres. The North Loop was later renamed the Lomaland Drive In, and two additional screens were added.
