Killeen: Killeen, Rancier Twin, and 440 Twin.
There is an old FM 440 Road. Its just west of Highway 195. I search southward down it… And there it is !
FM 440 is now called Old FM 440 Road. FM, in this instance, means Farm to Market Road.
Searching for these things can get boring late at night, but there are times when I feel like I have accomplished something. Finding this old Drive-In is one of those times.
440 Drive-In one screen on the topo and photo
Overgrown but still visible ! 2 screens on the aerial photo
I still cannot find Rancier Twin. I remember the Killeen Drive-In as being on Highway 190. Rancier is also Highway 439
Argh. Looks like I should have looked on Business Route 190, instead of Highway 190. Because there it is, Killeen Drive-In !
I know the map says Harker Heights, but it is the Killeen Drive-In.
