Same here. I have very fond memories of going to the drive-in with my parents in the station wagon. I'd be in my pajamas in the back and would try to stay up and watch the movies as long as I could. But I never made it to the end. I'd always fall asleep and be rattled in and out of a slumber as the car was on the way back home. Sometimes my parents would just leave me in the car for the night so as not to disturb me. Different times back then. No parent would leave their child in a car overnight these days (or unbuckled for that matter).
I wonder where this drive-in is in northeast Alabama. I'll be down there in a few more days with my youngest son. Maybe we'll check it out.
This one's in Centre in Cherokee County. There is another one in Marshall County near Boaz. I think that one is $10 per car. Not bad.
