The above picture was taken by my father, John Monroe, when he managed the Cuero theaters back in the 1940s. I don’t know where the name Chero came from. I think it must be a typo. I may post that picture as I have an original with Dad’s collection. Notice the picture in the link on the comment above. The shape of the screens are the same.
Approx. address for this drive-in was 355 U.S. 183, north of town.
Opened in 1950, the Cuero Drive-In closed for the season in 1963 without reopening. The VFW lodge built its facility on the drive-in although it used the snack bar beginning in 1967 and turned it into a barbecue food center.
