At the drive-in

[Marlin]

used to go to them all time as kid, got to take the little ones a few times to the one over on santa fe and 285 before they shut it down.

The Cinderella Twin..

The South drive-in That use to be at the N.E. corner of Windimere and Bellview,
A buddy and I, Shall we say "skirted" curfew a couple of times, and and saw a few sound-less movies over there.

Even went and saw a couple "legitimately" after we attained age.

I did go to one in 1980 in Denver. Was there one close to Aurora at that time?

Our haunt in the 70's was the 104th st drive in in Portland. Used to go watch all the bad overdubbed kung-fu flicks.

I havent been to a drive in since I was a kid, in fact the last movie I saw at a drive in was the original Ghost Busters. Great movie and a great time. I miss the drive in movie. I am sure many of us arrived on this planet as a result of the drive in if you catch my drift.

I haven't been to the submarine races...I mean drive-in in years. We went all the time as kids.



edit; Just cause.

When our oldest was small and we were on Long Island, we decided to hit the drive-in one night. We drove over an hour to get to it; double feature: "Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome" and "Big Trouble in Little China"). No necking, but we had a good time and the kiddo could thrash around without disturbing anyone.

Ah Pook, that was nothing short of amazing.

We go all the time. I have been to the one in Fort Collins and Thornton quite a bit. Always packed. Get there early.

Both worth the drive to have a quality family experience like we did when we were kids.

Marlin I swear we have parallel lives in some aspects.
The South, Centennial Drive in and the Evans Drive in all hold great memories!
We used to stuff like 12 people in a Chevelle on 5 dollar carload nights at the Evans.
When I met my wife we had a couple of dates at the Lakeshore Drive in@ Sheridan and 17th right across from Sloan Lake.
Now there were some "submarine races"

If you ever get down towards Monte Vista they had a hotel called the "Movie Manor" and last I heard it was still there. The hotel rooms had huge windows that face a drive in so you didn't have to be uncomfortable in a backseat.


Another American icon gone the way of the 5 and Dime store, full service gas stations and cruising 16th Street.

Driven by that a few times. Coolest small town idea ever.
