see a movie at a drive-in theater

I have the most wonderful memories of going to the drive-in theatre with my family. We’d actually park our station wagon with the back facing the screen, be in our pajamas and have lots of pillows and blankets back there. We’d get to stay back there for the drive home…before seat belts!!! My favorite drive-in movie was “Jungle Book.” I should do this again.

i have done this many of times. We have one in the town that i live in. It plays two movies and only costs like 6 bucks. Its really nice and enjoyable!

I never went. =[
A real shame since it’s closing!

So, someone on here was kind enough to inform me this one still works: http://www.tritowndrivein.com/index.cfm

Must. Go.
This. Summer!

I’ve done this before, with my family, but I’d like to go just with one other person. Wink, wink.

sadly, since drive in theatres only have business in the spring and summer mainly, they are slowly disappearing off the map.

growing up in wichita, ks, i loved going to the drive-in. it meant as a child i could stay up late and watch movies and finally pass out in the well-blanketed and cushioned bed of a truck when tired.

it seems like everyone knows that one jingle from growing up – for some people it’s alka-seltzer, for where i live now in manhattan, ks it’s pizza shuttle, and for me, it’s “The starlite drive-in gives you more call 524-24-24…” It’s so catchy you can’t forget it.

my boyfriend is from manhattan, ks and has never been to one so i plan on taking him on his 21st birthday! :)

Sadly, there is nothing like this in Norway. We do have drive-in restaurants and ect., but it would be nice with a drive in cinema, at least in the summer!:)

I went to the drive-in for the first time tonight and loved it! There are 3 screens, each showing two movies. We saw Iron Man and Drillbit Taylor. They have the sound piped in on the radio, which was very cool! The sky was beautiful. The weather was cool but not rainy. It was a great time!

I used to do this pretty frequently with the ex. There’s an old drive-in in San Antonio called “the Mission” that’s still in operation (or was, last time we went). Car clubs would come out for their social time and that was kind of fun to see. The movies were usually not first-run, but it’s just nice to be able to lounge around in your own car, BYOB, or whatever, and enjoy the night.

Leicester (Worcester County) Massachusetts

Mendon (Worcester County) Massachusetts
Mendon Twin Drive-in: 508-473-4958 SnackBar: 473-5840
located at 45 Milford Street (Route 16); * The Mendon is
the nearest Drive-in to the Boston metro area (40 miles).
The Mendon opened in 1954 with a single screen during the boom years
for American Drive-ins, and was one of 58 outdoor cinemas operating in
the state of Massachusetts at that point in time. Thirty-three years later,
the Mendon was acquired by new owners who – in a few words or less -
have polished this jewel of a Drive-in to the extent that it is one of those
things better seen than described, and serves the cause of all remaining
Drive-ins by being one of the best examples of enshrining these cultural
and nostalgic icons as an overall entertainment experience, which will
undoubtedly attract new devotees; in other words: it is preservation as
a self-fulfilled prophecy. The Mendon added a second screen was in 1998,
and has parking for up to 800 cars. We won’t spoil the fun by listing all the
clever nostalgic flourishes that have been added to the concession area;
like we said: it’s so much better seen than described. The menu is also
colorfully eclectic, going far beyond the usual snackbar fare, and includes
a popular selection of Mexican specialties (the snackbar itself has become
a destination among the locals). The Mendon is open seasonally, April thru
September; wknds only until mid-May; 7 nites during peak season. Audio
for movie soundtracks is provided by AM & FM-Stereo vicinity broadcast.
Admission to the Mendon Drive-in Theatre is charged by the carload ($15).

Northfield (Franklin County) Massachusetts
Northfield Drive-in theatre: 603-239-4054
at MA/NH border on Route 63 (Hinsdale Road)
This is one of two Drive-ins that we index under more than
1 state, being right on the line between Massachusetts and
New Hampshire (although it is technically and mostly within
the state of New Hampshire). The Northfield made a cameo
appearance as a wartime period location in the motion pic-
The Cider House Rules, although, in actuality, this Drive-in
opened 4 years after WW-II had ended (2002 is Northfield’s
53rd consecutive season). They screen double features,
and still have traditional speakers in addition to AM/FM
vicinity radio broadcasting for the movie soundtrack.
Admission: $7 for adults; $3.50 children under 12

None of those seem close though.
So, I guess I’d have to call.
Well, Fitchburg has the same area code as me.
I just hope they still are openn.
