The Admiral Twin in Tulsa is still in business. The Admiral Twin was featured in the movie "The Outsiders."

Default Old age and drive-ins

Oh man, the memories. Didn't do them much out here. The theaters were cheap enough. For 50 cents each my folks plopped us in one for the afternoon. NOW I know why!!! The last time I went to a drive in was a drive from Tulsa up to Coffeyville to see a friends' people and went to the one there. That was the early nineties. It was Tal's I think, and summertime and the skeeters almost carried me away. Didn't think to "douse" and it was too hot to put the winders up, so outta there!!!

Has anybody seen or plan to see the movie, "Appaloosa"?

Harris directs from a script he co-wrote with Oklahoma City-born writer/actor Robert Knott ("Pollock,” "The Hi-Lo Country”).

The project also presented an excellent opportunity for a substantial collaboration between two men who first discovered their dramatic chops in Oklahoma City — New Jersey native Harris in the '70s when he attended the University of Oklahoma for a year and acted in a Jewel Box Theatre production of "Camelot” as King Arthur, and former oil man Knott in the '80s when he performed in plays at Carpenter Square and Mummers theaters.

The reason I remember "The Outsiders" was because Matt Dillon played a character by the name of Dallas "Dally" Winston.

I just had to chime in on the current topic!

LOVED to go to the drive-in as a kid, I actually saw "ET" at one! Afterward, my dad and I had to go to a gas station and pick up some of those new "Reese's Pieces" candies that were in the movie! What a great marketing campaign.

We actually still have one in my neck of the woods in California, and they show first rate movies. We hung out there sometimes as teenagers. It got a little rough because of the gang bangers, but our local newspaper did a piece on it a couple of years ago that it was popular with families again and that the drive in had their own armed security. Gone are the clunky hook-on speakers, you now turn your radio to a specific station and listen through your car radio. It's a swap meet on the weekends, I'm sure that is where they make most of their money.

As far as The Outsiders movie, that is one of my all-time favorites. I actually show it in one of my classes to depict a group and how it functions and communicates. I can actually talk the entire script right along with the characters. The "North Side Greasers" vs. the "South Side Sosh" (I assume it stands for society?) What a great movie...

Speaking of trailers, I wonder what percentage of rural Okies live in trailers? Must be pretty high around here.

Here is a wonderment. Is this for rocking the babies to sleep? Is it going through an over-haul? Maybe it's for okies who now live in a stick house, so they can got off the addiction to trailers in baby steps like Trailers Anonymous or something.

It looks sort of like the lifts they use to move smaller boats into storage - smaller being a 36' or longer salmon boat.
