    Any of you ever go to one? Do you still go if there's one still near you? It was a treat going on a warm summer night when I was a kid. And later as a teenager. big grin

    There are a few around here somewhere, but I've never been to a drive in movie. I want to try it one day.

    I went years ago in or around Chicago. I was too young to recall if it was in or outside Chicago.

    There is one kind of close here, and I always mean for us to plan to go, but it never happens.

    They were usually out in the 'burbs and were quite common when I was a kid. Our village of St. Ann Mo. had two, one with a couple screens and the other was a 4-screen.

    Some charged by the # of ppl in the car, and I once went in the trunk (common practice with teen boys).

    There are no more drive-ins in St. Ann. The Airway is now a shopping center but they left the sign due to its artistic/historic value of a by-gone era.

    Oh, for you drivers, a bit of nostalgia in that pic. Look at the gas price.
    This was just last September

    No kidding; the last drive-in movie I saw was Ghostbusters II, back in 1989.

    I've never been to one but would definitely go to one if there was one nearby.
