The giant screen in this field definitely made for a surreal landscape.

It reminds me when we were kids at the Whalom drive in Lunenburg Ma. We'd pile at least three kidns into the trunk for a freebee. When we made it throught we'd all pile out and have a normal, sort of , normal night of drinking beer, getting rowdy and bothering anybody else who actually wanted to watch a movies. We are talking, 52, 53.

Oh Good! Comments are back. For a while there it wouldn't let me comment. I was getting a bit upset! I've never been to a drive in...it must have been really fun back in the day!

Being British & born in 1978 meant that I never heard of drive-ins until seeing re-runs of The Flintstones in the mid 1980s.

I used to go there in high school & a little after (85-88) It was, fortuitously, located across from a McD's, and suspiciously close to a 'package store'. I am very sad to hear it's gone. I want my kids to experience a drive in movie sometime.

Yeah right across from McD's , Sadness when it closed ..grew up right down the road and lived there most weekends. Fortunately my children experienced it in all its glory before its closing , I can still remember the hot dogs and soda characters dancing across the screen begging you to go to the concession stand . Thx Mott for your pictures of a bye gone era

I've had some good times at drive-ins. Seen so REALLY horrid movies that I actually enjoyed because we were at the drive-in. It's a shame that this is a bit of Americana that is falling into distant memories. :-(

I lived about 5 minutes down the road from this. I don't recall seeing movies there but I do remember that they used the parking lot as a flea market and I used to go there with my father. I guess this would have been in the early 90's. They toar this down within the last ten years I'd say.
