Re: ABC, Drive In Movie Memories

[roland]

This one brought back some memories. I remember my parents taking me to the Dundas Drive In when I was a kid - in pajamas and slippers ... always told to pretend we were asleep in the back seat, hoping to get a discount (or not be seen) at the ticket box.

Then as a teenager, taking the latest girlfriend - we would sit in the back bench seat and fold the front buckets forward ... oh! how those windows would fog up

The memories of intermission and the cafe bar, the move from speakers on the windows to that little wire for the radio on the antenna (a way to show off your newest sound system), the "ralley drive" over the humps to find the best spot......

Funny things is, I don't remember any of the movies I saw

joke :-
Did you hear about the blonde couple that were found frozen to death in their car at a drive-in movie theater?
A: They went to see "Closed for the Winter"

lol - this quote from this website ..

High schoolers back then ”” we guys, anyway ”” preferred horror films, like "Blood of Dracula." Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi ”” those guys were perfect. Scary enough to frighten our dates into our protective arms, boring enough that, once there, the movie was soon forgotten.
