I never been to one, can't they offer blue tooth now so the audio can play in everyone's car. That would be dope.

You tune in to a radio station

It was cool since if you had a good angle everyone in the car could look at what they wanted, especially if you had a portable radio. Used to go to the one in Concord when i was a kid.

The phrase Drive In Theater means Shaw Brothers martial arts films to me.

That was the name of the Channel 5 program that used to air them on Saturdays.

Still remember the opening theme song


The block was EMPTY at 3pm on Saturdays.

Starlight here in Atlanta has been around for years. I have fond memories of going there with family and dates. It’s a pretty fun experience.

Soooooo many great memories at Starlight

I remember two drive-in theaters in PG county. One was on Marlboro Pike and the other was on Central Ave. The one on Central Ave used to show porn at night

Until a young man crashed his car and died

that was like 35 years ago. God I’m telling my age

Y’all ever took a shorty to the $1 store before you hit the movies to get candy and snacks and tell shorty to put it in her purse

 

[SheWantTheD]

I wanna try one but it’s like two hours away and movie theaters are open.

Might take a shorty come summer time though.
