Our closest is about 45-minutes away. We did see a big one in Tulsa when we were there. Scott made us go to the finals instead of going to the drive-in though!!! :D :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

There's an old drive-in screen not more than three miles from my house in a field off the highway !! The guy is farming around it!...I'll get a pic of it tomorrow on the way to town. :D
If you think it's exciting now, wait till we start it.

We had a lot of drive-in movies back in the day...in Galveston we had the Oleander Drive-In...Art Deco style, a beautiful place. Big playground up in front of the elevated (sometimes 3-D...you wore the green and red shades) screen...huge concession stand...the place was infested with Texas-size mosquitos so we had these little spiral cones that you'd burn like incense and it was supposed to repel those little critters...the DDT truck'd come rolling through there a couple of times a night, too...those bugs'd put a whelp on ya for sure...in Texas City they had one called the Mainland, and that was the one me and Gina...Gina Statchitorie...used to go to with our little battery-powered turntable. We'd play house in my red, white and blue Volkswagen for a few hours while some movie'd be showing...they closed it down in the late 80s...3 screens...somebody airbrushed "BIG NASTY" on the marquee before it was demolished...anyway, check out This Day In History at Dangerous Bill's today. The lead story is about drive-in movies! Cheers, WC1

There is one in Monetta, SC (don't even know if you can find that one on a map) caled the Big Mo and she is still going strong.

Another one in N. GA. and Year One has a Hot Rod night there once a month. I am sure that has helped that one tremendously.

I hate to see them go away. Another piece of America, gone to make way for a Wal-Mart or whatever.

Drive in theaters in So Cal have been replaced by 1700 houses on 3 acres each selling for 350K, unless the houses are in San Diego or Orange County making the price 500 grand.
