The Belknap Drive-In opened in 1948 with a capacity for 600 cars. This drive-in closed around 1982, and was demolished in 1984 or 1985. Also known as the Buffalo Drive-In, it was a single-screen theater, and was known for the mural of a buffalo kicking a football on the back of the screen.

Today, there's nothing left of the drive-in theater. Now there's an apartment complex on the site. Found near the intersection of Denton Highway and Belknap Street in Haltom City, Texas, near the Birdville Schools Administration building. I photographed the site while searching for benchmark CS2992, and used it for the former locationless cache.
Current condition: Something standing in it's place (no remains)
