I’m in!
The BEST part of a Drive In...
The Back Seat!
Wow! Some great Americana still exists!
There are still two drive-in theaters operating in our neck of the woods. The Skyline near Shelton and the Rodeo near Port Orchard (western WA).
When I was a teenager my friends and I figured out we could drive our small cars diagonally through the exit of the local drive-in and the wheels would just fit between the two sets of tire spikes blocking each lane. As soon as the last feature started the box office would close and in we went. Fun times.
Right down the street from me in Georgetown, Indiana is the Georgetown Drive-In...still going strong!!
I’d love to attend a drive-in again. Good place to show off and see classic cars.
Hmmm. I thought the last functioning drive-in theatre closed about a decade ago. IIRC, it was in Califonia.
Here's the USA Today link:
I watched many movies in my old Galaxy 500.
Sadly the two drive-ins in my area re now a Lowe’s hardware store and a massive empty lot.
Mom and dad put us in PJs, and spread blankets in the back of the station wagon because we would never make it through the movie, and honestly for me it was more fun eating popcorn and people watching, or watching Star Wars with no sound playing on another screen across the lot!
There is a great drive in theater about an hour or so outside of Washington, DC in Stephens City, VA (near Winchester). It is called the Family Drive In Theater. We loved taking our kids to it and they thought it was so cool.
In another life, back in 1980, when I was young and broke and stupid, but in love and lived in CA, we used to scrape together enough pennies to go the the Drive-In from time to time. I remember going to see, ‘The Hearse’ and there had to have been a dozen people with actual hearses there! Good memory; THANKS!
Now that I’m old/er and wealthy *SMIRK* and smarter and in love with a MUCH better man, we go to the Drive-In in the summer months and neck like we were teenagers.
*SIGH*

Some of my best childhood memories are evenings at the drive in.
While I am So glad to see the drive in make a comeback, It’s not the same because Hollywood produces only crap movies these days....They just opened a new a drive in not far from where I live. When the next Clint Eastwood movie opens, perhaps I will go check it out.
Passion pits live!
The one in Lakeland, FL was on my list when my girlfriend came to visit in FL. We were running late so decided to skip it.
Still want to do it though. There is one in Winchester, VA and another near Baltimore.
We have one in the town of Mt Pleasant a few miles from our cabin. Seen a few good movies there. Loads of fun. The dog doesn’t seem to appreciate them though.
These days the drive-in theater would have the privacy advantage of some isolation from other patrons creating disturbances with an assortment of annoying distractions.
There’s one about 2 miles from here. We go at least once a summer
