Door County Wisc still has one. The thrill is gone for me. Give me my jammies, glass of wine, netflix and a big screen at home. Stop action for bathroom breaks-no skeeters- no noisey carloads of teens around- very clean bathrooms- cheap yet delicious popcorn made just the way I like,,,, Ahhh much better.

Some of us may have been conceived at the drive in. 
What's not to like two movies and bring your own pizza.
There are a few outside of Seattle. Good family time. |

I know some are still out there. If you are lucky enough to still have a Drive In in your area let us know.

I went to my first drive in with my parents! 
The Mission Tiki in Montclair, CA is still around. Just like the good old days, but now I'm the parent.  |

Does anyone remember the ads for food between shows. The dancing hotdogs and the popcorn. They were silly but they sure made you hungry.

I think because it has been around 10 years or so that I was at a drive in because the one close to us was like an hour away. I saw Twister that was good to see at the drive in. THe only think with the drive in is that flims that have a lot of darkness it is harder to see them.
