Two Drive-Ins in Waco Texas

The Circle Drive-In
I took these photos in the summer of 2001 on a trip through Waco. The Circle Drive-In is located north of the "circle" in Waco. It might be on Highway 6. I can't remember. The Circle appears to be a pretty old theater which is now a flea market. A building has been built onto the screen tower which is pretty unusual. There is a gaint bear painting on the screen tower. I don't know if this theater is still there or not. I haven't been by there since these photos were taken. Click any photo to see a larger version.

I couldn't get a close look at the screen because of trees and the building that was in the way. There had been a larger screen added at one time but the screen surface was gone. The framework was still there and the original screen could be seen behind the framework.

The marquee was still in good shape. The "Treasure City" was obviously the original sign because the the smaller sign at the top right still had the original "Texas Southwest Theaters" wording. I didn't see any ticket booth remaining on the site.

The back of the marquee structure still had the "Thank You Come Again Soon. Open All Year Rain Or Clear" on the back.

The Joy Drive-In
I think the screen was all that was left of this drive-in. I couldn't get any closer than this. I was really overgrown and I couldn't find a way back into the site. I didn't see any marquee or any other drive-in related structures around from what I can't remember.
