I think that there only a couple in MA. We still go to one on Cape Cod each year. Still some interaction, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They aren’t releasing new movies, so the need for first run will be less. I think, like just about anything, we need to get rid of the risk before any businesses will get moving.

Easy place to throw a kegger and catch a flicker show or two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kids load up on popcorn and it gets us out of the house for a night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cruzer 1,992 Posted March 30, 2020 We have 1 here - it's awesome, love it. One of the cool things about them now is............SUVs. They didn't exist back then, is a totally cool experience watching out of the back of one now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We squeezed 4 of us in on double date. Also I’d “borrow” my grandmothers station wagon for the drive in 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The town I live in now had one back in the 70’s/80’s. It turned into a mall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vuduchile 1,941 Posted March 30, 2020 They have one nearby in IN. We went a couple of years ago. I don't even remember what we saw. We basically had to shower in bug spray just to keep the mosquitoes off. The one I went to as a kid was in Tulsa. It had a playground in front of the screen. My grandparents would load all 13 of their grandkids in the back of their mustard yellow Chevy truck and take us. The last movie I remember seeing there was Where the Red Fern Grows.

We took my friend's Winnebago to it. We would park in the back and we would have a huge party at the drive-ins. Great summer time fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
