A New Drive-In Theater Opens In 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.

Eads: A month of gratitude

While early voting is underway at the time of writing this column, by the time it is published, we will have had the opportunity to make our voices heard through the democratic process. Whatever the outcome, the peaceful exercise of self-government is worthy of our gratitude. The voting process reminds us that citizenship is not a spectator’s role. We are asked to participate, to listen and, after the votes are counted, to remember that we are still friends and neighbors. We may not always agree, but we remain residents with a shared stake in the future of our country and our county.
