I'm proud my town has one too. Used to have three.<BR/><BR/>Good point, Meno. And I suppose I'm being a little disingenuous; when they give out cheap movie tie-in toys at McDonald's I call it crass hyper-commercialism, when they do it at the drive-in, I call it nostalgia.<BR/><BR/>Mona, it's not heaven, it's Colorado. and at 100 degrees it doesn't feel too heavenly tody.<BR/><BR/>Quite the list, Daisy. You wouldn't think The Great Gatsby would be a big hit among the drive-in crowd. Though I saw 2001 at a drive-in, so who knows? Perhaps I should give the drive-in crowd a little more credit.<BR/><BR/>Maggie, the downside to family night at the drive-in is no one gets to bed before midnight, so everyone is tired and crabby the next morning. In our house anyway. But you should go.<BR/><BR/>Amen indeed, Scarlett. The good news is if they survived this long, they'll probably continue to do so.Clowncarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02219213001049223673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8947514984021363360.post-73787134743153404572008-07-02T11:08:00.000-06:002008-07-02T11:08:00.000-06:00Amen.Thank God these are still around, even in sma...Amen.<BR/><BR/>Thank God these are still around, even in small numbers, to be enjoyed, and the rituals taught to up and coming generations.<BR/><BR/>Amen again.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Scarlett & ViaggiatoreWanderlust Scarletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00551514192060606454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8947514984021363360.post-66961017076080652102008-07-02T07:27:00.000-06:002008-07-02T07:27:00.000-06:00i love drive-ins but rarely go. we have one here....i love drive-ins but rarely go. we have one here. my son took two friends last year (with hubby of course) for his birthday. i hope we can make it this year with the whole family.Lynneahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08255266354171825474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8947514984021363360.post-154169262224163362008-07-01T19:56:00.000-06:002008-07-01T19:56:00.000-06:00One of the things I have always loved about drive-...One of the things I have always loved about drive-ins is the thrill I get from the sense that even if I'm just driving by, I get to see a little bit of the movie for free!<BR/><BR/>Viva Zapata, Great Gatsby, The Russians are Coming, various Disney movies.... all seen from the station wagon, before falling asleep in the back...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8947514984021363360.post-16149217543196366862008-06-30T20:39:00.000-06:002008-06-30T20:39:00.000-06:00I'm so jealous.

For some time, I've been strangely proud of the fact that when drive-ins were being demolished all over the continent, the one here in Kingston added a second screen. :-)<BR/><BR/>I'm going to make a point of getting out to it more often. The kids love the midway, too. :-)Gordohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07601738885232775770noreply@blogger.com
