DRIVE IN MOVIES

A speaker for the drive in movie. It attached to your car window.




A drive in movie theater













Remember drive in movies? We went to many of them back in the fifties and sixties when our kids were small. We went usually about once a week--mostly on Friday or Saturday nights.


We would get a supply of candy bars, popcorn, a cooler filled with pop and off we would go for a fun filled night.


Usually, the kids would be sleeping by the time we got home again.


That was a low cost and pleasantly spent night for us. There were usually two movies and short things in between the two movies.


I checked in our area and the only drive in movie theater around our area is one at Huntington, Indiana which is about 25 miles from us. This drive in was established in 1950 and has been in continuous operation ever since.


However, I have no need for a drive in movie theater now! I have my TV and also you can rent any movie you want and watch it in the comfort of your own home--much cheaper than going to a theater. So why would I go to a drive in movie?


Maybe just for old time's sake!
