A closer address is 1075 US-87, Eden, TX 76837. This is the Slumber Inn, the drive-in was next door and the remains of the ramps, concession building and drive way can be seen on google earth. There’s a 2018 street view that shows what’s left of the concession building.
It wasn’t open in 1964, historic aerials show an empty lot in that year then the drive-in is there in 1973. It was still intact in 1985 then overgrown by 1995. its now Riverside Meadows apartments.
The concession building appears to still exist, the site is now a farm and still has the same outline. Also the remains of the road sign are still there.
I think the rectangular building IS the concession building, the size is about the same and position is the same. It however has been turned into a garage or storage shed.
Half of the site is Celebration Church, who look like they have renovated the snack bar building and use the ramps as a car park. The other half is Dowell Windows who use some of the ramps as a storage yard. Also the base/foundation of the ticket box looks like it still remains along the entrance driveway for the church.
The site is mostly vacant, the entry/exit road partially remains and the foundation of the concession/projection building remains along with some ramps.
