Shame we don't have many drive-in theaters left. They could become popular again.

Summer job in the 60s worked in one. Cool times. Called airway drive-in. Last time I was there the entrance sign was still up. But of course the place has been gone for years

I have one a half a mile from my house. Might be the last one in Nebr. During the summer it is packed, sometimes they have to turn people away. Families come from as far as Omaha, 150 miles away. It's billed as family friendly, no r rated movies. People even bring their campers and spend the weekend.

Miss the drive-in.
The hot ticket was to go in a van ( had one at the time ) and bring the girlfriend. Park backwards and open up the back doors facing the screen. Laid out a huge 2 man sleeping bag on the floor and climb in with your honey laugh

I loved going to the drive in movies as a kid. We used to go in my parents AMC Gremlin. My parents brought lots of candy and snacks.

I remember riding down the highway and getting excited seeing little bits of movies as we went by.

The last time I went to a drive in movie was in 1989, with my girlfriend, in upstate New York, near Lake Erie. We watched some of Ghostbusters II.

I got thrown in the trunk with two other siblings so the older siblings could go, but didn't have to pay for us lol.


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

I went to one about 10 years ago with a girlfriend. Had an air mattress in the bed of my Chevy S10. Good times.

We had one in a neighboring town and back in the early and mid 70s it was a great place to be on a Saturday nite. Used to sneak in stuffed inside someone's trunk. Boys and girls would pack in … If I remember right there was 6... yes six guys and gals packed in the trunk of the drivers big Cadillac his mom and dad let my friend use. Great times back then !!

Went to ours several times with buddies and dates growing up in the 70's. Then took the kids when they got old enough in the 80's. Grandsons are old enough now and looking forward to taking them to the same one this year.

Every little town had a cinema theater at one time too.-All gone the way of the dinosaur.
