A closer address is 2218 Lubbock Rd, Brownfield, TX.
Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right at the entrance.
The drive-in had been completely demolished by 1967. Today, a couple of steel buildings sit on the front part, while most of the property remains undeveloped. However, there is no trace of the drive-in remaining.
By 1971, the drive-in had been completely demolished. The property was never developed save for the bar that was built along the entrance & exit roads.
Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it on the property.
Today, it is private property. But you can still see the outline, entrance/exit roads, and the foundation of the projection booth/concession stand which now is an outdoor basketball court of sorts.
Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right in the center of the property.
Today, the outline and ramps are fading, but still somewhat visible. The projection booth/concession stand is still there, I think, although heavily refurbished and with a separate roof.
There is a structure standing where the ticket booth once stood and it may very well be the ticket booth. But I can’t say for sure.
Google Maps has updated their addresses and this put it on a building immediately to the west of the property.
Today, the property is still empty with power lines running across the middle of it. Although somewhat overgrown, you can still barely make out the ramps and outline.
A May 2023 Google Street View shows the property with a building next to the road and the business apparently closed. The grounds appear to be a dump for dirt. And cinder blocks are being stored there as well.
The only remnant of the drive-in remaining is the screen, which appears in pretty decent shape all things considered.
The drive-in was located on the north side of the property. The screen sat rather unusually on the northeast corner and faced southwest into the setting sun (at least part of the year).
By 1985, the entire drive-in was demolished and by 1996 all traces had disappeared, even the entrance road which is odd for a property that was never developed.
A 1981 aerial shows the drive-in intact, but it appeared to have been closed for some time. There is debris present and trails cutting into the ramps which is a sure sign of closure.
At some point between 1986 and 1997, the projection booth/concession stand was torn down and the screen knocked over. The skeletal remains of the screen still exist on the property today.
A closer address is 34W160 Montgomery Rd, Aurora, IL.
This puts it right on the house which was on the property before the drive-in was constructed. Along with the entrance and exit roads, it is the only remaining remnant from the drive-in.
By 2007, the drive-in was fully razed, removing all traces. However, it was never developed into housing, but a large retention pond was built which sits on the east side of where the ramps were once present.
Looks like I will have to take back my belief that the foundation of the projection booth/concession stand is still present. A February 2025 Google Street View does not show it.
I’ll add that the trailer park has seen better days.
Google Street Views from the time the RV park had been built until the most recent one have never shows movies advertised on the Corral Drive-In marquee.
It does seem strange that they have never covered the sign in order not to mislead those from outside of Guymon, but it’s clear that they haven’t shown movies there for quite some time.
A December 2024 Google Street View shows the drive-in appears to have been closed for some time. While the structure of the screen still stands, most of the screen itself is missing. Part of the fence is down. And there is debris scattered across the drive-in, including a washer and drying in front of the concession stand.
I’d say this drive-in has been closed for some time.
Given that two drive-ins existed in nearby Radcliff during the 1950s, it makes sense that the Meade Drive-In would be on the west side of Vine Grove.
Unfortunately, I can see no indication of a small drive-in anywhere in or near Vine Grove using the 1955 & 1960 aerials. Either it’s there and I’m not seeing it (a good possibility if it only held 60 vehicles) or perhaps it was not built until 1961 and by the 1982 aerial had disappeared.
A 1954 aerial shows the drive-in intact. However, a 1958 aerial shows the drive-in completely demolished with the property occupied by housing.
The drive-in was still intact in a 1976 aerial. By 1983 it had been completely demolished.
Today, Buddy’s Plant Plus sits on the property. The only remaining remnant of the drive-in is the long entrance road.

Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it on the back part of the property.
By 1996, the drive-in had been demolished. Although the property has yet to be developed, only a faint outline of the drive-in remains.

From at least 1985 to 1997, the property seemed to be an auto salvage yard given the number of vehicles on it.
Sometime between 1987 and 1997, the concession stand/projection booth was shifted off its foundation where it continues to sit to this day.
The screen itself is made of brick, but seems to have lost the top part before 2008.
Not that after 47 years someone might re-open it, but it would take a great deal of work to do so.
