company, SAF Studios, Inc. in San Antonio and is a member of The Greater San Antonio Film Council. Both sites are linked on the Movie Links page.
Also on October 24, 2007, I revamped home page. I hope you like this layout better.

from all 50 states and the Provinces of Canada. Actually, all of this

October
14, 2007, the Mission !V is soon to be razed. The City of San Antonio
purchased the drive-in for a reported $3,300,00.00. They plan a four
month study period afterwhich, they plan to raze the theatre for a
National Parks Headquarters, an Hispanic college campus, a library and
possibly a Veterans Memorial. WOAI-TV broke the story today. See the
account at WOAI-TV.
We
are hoping that the Mission Drive-In one can be saved, even though
there is little hope for screens two, three or four. See our campaign
to Save the Mission.
October 12, 2007, I met Melissa Martinez. She has another website similar to ours and has been gracious
enough to share her knowledge of theatres in San Antonio with us. It was through her that I found out that John Eberson designed the Woodlawn Theatre. We hope some day to get the theatre recognized historically. I have created a page for her and a link to her website, San Antonio Theatres History Website.
