Went to one last year on a warm summer night. It was a double-header; Grease and American Graffiti, which also happens to be my favorite movie. This particular drive- in boasts being 99% authentic vintage. They don't have the speaker posts, but they do have the original bathrooms, snack bar, movie screen and playground. When I toured the place I got this weird feeling, almost like Vertigo, because I was totally flashing back to my childhood. It was so cool. Even though I didn't grow up in the area, it looked almost the same as the drive-in I used to go to when I was a kid, "Highway 39," with the picture of the sailboat, ocean and palm trees on the backside of the movie screen.
I love drive in movies!!!
