Midway Drive-In Hoodie
The Midway Drive-In in Sweetwater, Texas, opened on May 20, 1948, on the old Bankhead Highway west of town. One commenter on Cinema Treasures recalls that Jack Wallace owned it in the 1950s and that his son J.D. ran it, close enough to the ticket office to walk over and catch teenagers sneaking in.
No closing date has been published. A roadside survey says it has been shut since the mid-1970s, and a 1984 aerial shows debris on the lot. The tower, painted with a zigzag purple mountain range, outlasted the theater by decades.
