We have just one drive-in left in Salt Lake City. I'm 63 years old and when I was a kid, there were probably over a dozen. I remember going with my parents and little sister. We'd dress in our pajamas before we went, and would get there early to find a good parking place. Then my dad would take us down to the playground where we'd play until it was time for the movie to start. They'd uusually be double-features, and sometimes my sister and I would actually make it through both movies. We'd usually fall asleep during the second one, though, and since we were already in our pajamas, we'd just wake up the next morning in our own beds, remembering the fun of the prior night.
Wow... that makes me so nostalgic. I'm going to have to see if I can talk my husband into taking me to a drive-in sometime this summer. I haven't been to one in literally years.

If you do go, don't forget to wear your jammies and go for a swing! We did that too as a family. It was definitely a different time.
I really miss them. We lost our in this area years ago. About 15 years ago we found one about a hour away in Michigan around where we live. I remember going to the Drive In when we were little in our PJ with popcorn. It was a good deal for two movies. Then as you get older you go with your friends and boyfriends and then I took my kids at least my older kids. My 4 younger on;y know the inside movies. I'm 48 but I really miss them. I know some are still out there. If you are lucky enough to still have a Drive In in your area let us know.
There is one in my area but I wouldnt go for 2 reasons:
1) Nothing I wanna see
2) Its probably digital which I dont like.. (I like analog video,etc)
MOST ALL MOVIE THEATHERS ARE NOW DIGITAL SO DRIVE INS MIGHT BE ALSO!

Any operating Drive-in would need to be Digital now as new releases are no longer distributed via film. The change is effective this year.
This year the local drive-in was part of a simulcast of a Jimmy Buffet concert which they couldn't have done prior to the conversion.
