A New Drive-In Theatre Is Coming To McKinney
Movie night is getting a little dose of nostalgia in McKinney. Instead of finding a seat in a dark theater, moviegoers can settle into lawn chairs, gather around their cars and watch a film beneath the Texas sky at Wayback Drive-In, a new outdoor movie theater opening this November. Located at Wayback Barn, 3964 County Road 168, the drive-in is the latest addition to the four-acre outdoor entertainment destination in north McKinney. A grand opening is scheduled for Nov. 6-8. It is the only drive-in movie theater in McKinney and one of the few still operating in North Texas. Guests who purchase movie tickets also receive admission to Wayback Barn, where they can arrive early to play yard games, take on the mini-golf course or grab something to eat and drink before the show. "We wanted to give families a reason to slow down, share a meaningful experience, and turn movie night back into an outdoor social event," said owner Laura O'Dowd. More Than A Movie There is plenty to do before the opening credits roll. The property features a collection of outdoor games, including gaga ball, tetherball, nine square, horseshoes, volleyball, cornhole, ping-pong, foosball, bocce ball and giant Jenga.

Foster was influenced by a military lineage going back generations. His dad was in the Navy and his grandfather was in the Army and his uncle was in the Marine Corps. Foster said after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, he knew he would join the military too. “9/11 was one of those days that I think, certainly for everybody in my generation, I could tell you exactly where I was, down to the spot in the middle of the road where I heard it,” Foster said. “It transformatively changed my life and gave me a direction that I didn't know that I needed. When I was graduating from high school, I had offers to go to college. I could have done that, and it just wasn't what I felt I needed at the time, and so I really had this strong desire to go serve.” In 2005, he married his
