my first date with my wife was at a Drive In..I think in Independence.

Speaking of R movies,we had another drive-in that was on the busiest strip in town and you could see the screen as you topped a hill.They eventually had to do away showing any kind of movie with nudity because there were so many rear end crashes on the strip :D

heh, i remember going to the Crest in Grandview and 63rd in Raytown when i was a kid. The sound was always crap.

I think there used to be one at 40 highway and Noland Road as well?

Still go to twin once a year. It is a great value. That and you use the radio now to listen.

We went to our local one recently to see Cars 2. It was a fun experience for the kids. That being said, it's a great value... but the crowd shows it. I could probably start a rival website to People of Wal-Mart called People of the Drive-In.

Only one around here in is aurora. Think they only show pg movies, but damn is it packed.

Sioux City used to have 3 different drive-ins, two of them twins. None now, sad. One of the highlights and things you remember from growing up.

We went down to Arurora with the "kids" to see 'Cars II' and they had to turn people away. Traffic was backed up all the way to the HWY. We made it in and they had us park in the drive because the parking places were full.

Nothing like a real Cherry Coke and some buttery popcorn.

I used to go to the Leawood Drive-in when I was a kid about a million years ago.

We have one down here and we still go. I prefer it actually. The cost of admission is SOOOO much cheaper than a theater.

Yeah, it is still there but I haven't been to a movie there since the early 90s.

There is one in Ennis, TX that opened a few years ago. We go there on occasion with the kids so they can experience it for themselves. It's a cool part of Americana IMO.

Took my boys a few years back to see WallE; wanted them to know what it was like to see a drive-in movie before they went extinct.
They loved sitting outside watching the show.
The crowd was probably 90% mexicans. They were all outside their cars, running and talking the whole movie through, throwing glow sticks all over .
It was fun.

Crammin' the trunk full with kids and firiends huh! Good times!:D

Yes. I work at one in fact. :D

There are three Drive-Ins left in Kansas City. The Boulevard (the one mentioned in the article posted), The I-70 Drive-In, which is by the stadiums, one block west of Stadium Drive on 40 Highway, and the Twin Drive-In, which is out in Independence at Highway 291 and Kentucky.

If you have kids, you can't beat the value. Everyone 12 and up costs 8 bucks, kids 11 and under are free. So a family of four can see two movies for $16.

I wish we had one here in central mo
