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.
Opened July 16, 1952 with “Wagons West”
Rapp opened the Ranger subsequent to operating the Tower in Ranger. It had a Western Town theme that was displayed under the screen. I have uploaded a photo of that. The area for the theatre was reportedly carved out of the side of Ranger Hill which was east of Ranger proper.
Rapp sold the Ranger when he retired in 1978.
Apparently things have changed Address wise. Highway 80 does not appear to exist anymore and neither Google nor Historic Aerials like that address. Try 2521 TX-254 Loop Strawn, Texas, this maps right to the same spot.
Views from 2008 of the remains of the Ranger Drive In.
