First lit-up in 1952, the Tascosa originally had twin
screens on the north and south side of the property.

The north screen was destroyed by fire back in '78 ..
and subsequently, the old Ozoner went dark. Different
twist, but usual ending. Not every Drive-in goes down in
flames, but most of them went dark. The story doesn't
wrap with 'Fade to Black' however .. there's light at the
end of the Tascosa. Restored, revived, and re-opened
in the summer of the last year of the last century - '99,
the Tascosa is back from the brink, lighting the screen
with a first-run double feature, every night of the week.
