I know there are still a few drive-ins out there but none in my area - so sad!

I remember they lived in an apartment under the screen! And Mom wouldn't ket us go on dates to a drive-in until we were 18 - I never did 'cause I was sure she would pop up from the backseat if I tried it!<br />Good post - thanks!

Cars used to have some good size trunks back then, that or I've gained some 'insulation' along the way (probably both). 8^)<br /><br />These drive-ins were great family attractions, especially if you had no way to afford a babysitter, you brought the little tykes with you. What you saved you spent at the snackbar though, lol.<br /><br />Any way, good times. Ours had a on site laundry service that did good business. You drove in, dropped off dirty laundry and went on to see movie. On the way out, you stopped by for clean and pressed laundry - easy peazy!<br /><br />Thanks for the memories HermitJim.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-55809759488048419912012-06-06T06:51:31.494-05:002012-06-06T06:51:31.494-05:00There's a drive in about 35 minutes down the r...There's a drive in about 35 minutes down the road from me.

They were open all year and in the winter, they gave you a heater to hang in the back window - they were horrible! Smelled like burnt salami! My kids loved to go to the drive-in as most of them had playgrounds to keep the kiddies happy before the movies started.

The one up the road is closed this summer due to sickness in the family, and I don't know if the other two are still there or not.
