The Fort Worth Twin Drive-In
If you have driven
on I30 between Fort Worth and Dallas you have seen the pitiful remains of the
Fort Worth Twin theatre. It is located on the South side of I30 just a few miles
east of Downtown Fort Worth. The whole lot is pretty much a land fill that is
full of junk and dirt piles from dumping. As you can see it is completely overgrown.
I have no idea when the theatre was abandoned. I was there around '88 or '89 when
I "rescued" some neon tubing from the Marquee. At that time there was still a
projection building and there was no dumping on the sight yet. These pictures
were taken Nov. '99. Just click on the photos to see larger versions.
This is what remains
of the Ticket Booth-Marquee. I guess that the left half of the Marquee was knocked
down by trucks driving into the sight to dump. If my memory serves me correctly
the ticket booths where not there when I was at the sight in the past. I assume
the ticket booths where underneath, to the front of or behind the marqee. The
bottom of the marquee is about 9-10 feet off of the ground. I have one piece of
Argon tubing that was part of the backlight of this marquee.
