spree: High land prices and short seasons make it tough for drive-ins but this may be a revival.
We have one drive-in with six screens left in my metro-area. Although it is in a somewhat seedy area (the federal pen is down the street and I could pick up some crack on the way to the show if I wanted to) we go almost every weekend. I love the drive-in and it would be a real shame if they disappeared entirely. What I really like is two first-run movies for $6 and I can sit outside and drink beer and smoke ciggies to my heart's content. I have great memories of the drive-in from my childhood and early teens -- my son loves the place and I hope it is around when he is ready for his first backseat grope.
Last weekend I happened to glance over at the car next to us and two young adults (sheesh, when did I get old?) were, uh, going at it in the car. Not a big deal unless you consider that we were watching Nemo for fuck's sake -- they coulda picked a better flick to fuck at with less kiddies around.
