OT: Drive in Movie Theaters/Anybody else dig them
I wanted to share one of my favorite links on the subject of classic drive-in movie theaters, man I love drive-ins, love the feel, the smell, the sounds, cuddling in the front seat with my girl, I wish I was there in the 40's and 50's to watch the silver classics of sci-fi and horror.
What I would give to see "Them" on the big screen.

I thought all the ones in our neck of the woods closed or went under or something like that.
Are there any left around Chicago?

It's been there since the 40's I believe, one of the few left in our neck of the woods, if not the state. You have never been there!
They just had a thing about it on Wild Chicago, I have been going there on and off since I started dating my girlfriend back in 93, its right across from that cool farm where they have the great Halloween pumkins.

Drive-ins are sweetly cool. I remember one of the first movies I ever saw was at a drive-in. It was a great way for families to go to the movies, bring their own snacks and drinks and watch a movie together. Anybody remember those mosquito repellent coils you used to light up to chase away the bugs at night? We'd bring those too so we wouldn't be eaten alive. Here are some of the movies I saw at drive-ins as a lad:
Ben-Hur, Born Free, some flick with Ben Gazarra. There was a porn drive-in in Tyler, Texas where I saw lots (and my first) porn flick. Can life get any better than that with drive-ins?
No, I don't think so.

It is more viable to run a cinema rather than a drive in. Also, the amount of land they take up would be more profitable if it were developed as housing or office space.

A piece of americana is dying.
Now everyone wants to build Stadium-seating, DTS THX this and that, complete with 18 screens, parking nightmares, and $10 to get in...not to mention the $5 popcorn and the $3 sodas.
Bring back the crappy rock filled parking lot, my beat down 68 malibu, monorial speaker and some drunken jacka s s mooning the entire drive through from the concession stand!!
