South Austin Drive-In Theater

LOCATION

The location of this theater was originally listed as "3900 South Congress". This street address can still be found on modern (2003) maps of Austin. There is a complication with this address. The Mobil travel map indicates a drive-in theater existed several blocks further south on South Congress. Further research is required to validate this address and to identify the other drive-in theater.
