Remember the good times at these..............

I miss the Drive In so much. Ours went out of business in the early 80's. The land is now a golf course.
I remember going with our folks when I was just a little girl. I remember seeing Goodbye Charlie with Debbie Reynolds and Tony Curtis the first time we went.
As I got older, I went with my older sisters. Later, as a teenager I went with boyfriends.... always double dates. The final time I went was with my husband. We saw An American Werewolf In London.

The great thing about it was that you could be comfortable in your own car and you could bring your own snacks and your beverage of choice. My husband and I could sit back and enjoy a brew with the popcorn I made at home. At the time, we lived only less than a mile from the outdoor.

The only movie I remember seeing at a drive-in was The Empire Strikes Back. The best movie from my favorite franchise and still one of the best films ever made, in my opinion. So, definitely a good memory.

I wonder how many are still around.

I'm 40, so I do remember a few being around, but I never got around to trying that out.

For me, the theater is the real deal. Great sound, big screen, stadium seating, reserved seats, hot dogs with nacho cheese sauce poured over jalapenos, and of course a nice big salted pretzel.

I remember going to the drive-in with my family. Most of the time it was the only way we got to see movies. Going to a theater was too expensive for us (family of eight). We kids were dressed in our pajamas because inevitably the younger ones would fall asleep before the movies ended (we usually watched double-features), That way my dad could carry the sleepers straight to bed afterwards. I recall seeing quite a few Doris Day movies, westerns, and plenty of Disney movies, too. Good times.

We don't have drive - in this country...

Is that photo a real place? I was going to say that the background is so amazing it would be distracting but I guess someone in a car would be down too low to see all of that.
