One old-timer said this strip opened in 1956, and it was certainly running before Green Valley. Another placed it on Davis Boulevard about two miles north of the Grapevine Highway (Highway 26), just southeast of Green Valley and just southwest of the old private Mangham Airport. Irish Drive runs just north of where it was. He remembered a trailer park on the site, and it is now a housing development.
