yeah, go out, socialize more, it could cure you.

You think I'm surley now, wait until you see how I am after a couple of hours around people.

People piss me off.

Great memories of drive ins. Dad and I went to see a triple header of Logan's Run, Roller Ball and Soylent Green. I still love all three of those movies to this day.

Loved when they put the kids movies on one screen and the naughty movies on another, and you spent the evening trying to catch glimpses of the naughty movie without being noticed.

I love "The Incredible Mr. Limpet". I saw it as a child, on TV, probably 10 years after it came out. For it's time, mixing animation with live-action, it was pretty good. Was it Shakespeare? No, but none of Don's work is ("The Ghost and Mr. Chicken", "The Reluctant Astronaut", etc.,.).

I understand that there are less than 100 of them left in the U.S. and two of them are in my town of less than 40,000 people. Now they dont sit in the cars anymore. They get lawn chairs and sit outside.

Do they get the sound from the speaker boxes still, or is it through the radio/stereo as these here are?

The sound quality is much better, but the drive-in losses just a touch of it's old time charm without those boxes.

my grandmother lived in south county stl and had a tall pine tree in her front yard. lived about a half mile from a drive in theater. after dark, me and my cousin would climb to the top of the tree and watch all night hoping to see some skin.

There are over 500 Drive Ins operating in the United States, and over 3000+ closed units. Sad, but the comfort level of Americans is so important they couldn't survive between this and the studio costs in the ticket share. But if you have one near you , GO, and support our heritage.
