J.E. Newman launched the Sunset Drive-In Theatre - which was the first for the area opening in 1948, likely on a ten-year lease. In 1950, Newman added individual speakers to greatly improve the sound system for the patrons. The theatre’s sunset mural was a beacon to the area at night. However, the theatre was outflanked by superior theatres including the Camp Bowie Drive-In, the 84 Drive-In and the Bluffvue Drive-In. It would go out of business in 1957 likely at lease’s end. A fire in 1970 led to the demolition of the the theatre on November 1, 1971.
