Go to Google Street view. The marquee is still there, and looks pretty darn good!

The Address is 230 Co Rd 4130 Bonham, TX. You can still see the general outline of the drive-in. http://tinyurl.com/noqryyb

H.S. Cole launched the Bonham Drive-In on July 11, 1950 with John Wayne in the “Three Godfathers” for its grand opening plus fireworks.

Hwy 82 is now a freeway north of this location.

The drive-in was located at what is now the SE corner of Texas 56 and FM 4130.
