San Antonio, TX - The Mission 4 Drive-in Theatre located on the South Side of San Antonio had two of its movie screens and its ticket booth demolished on the morning of May 19, 2009. The theatre, which first opened in 1948 and was the last remaining open-air theatre in San Antonio, had closed down in November 2007.
