Chris, going to the drive-in...Absolutely love this! Chris, going to the drive-in was a wonderful part of my growing up experience. We had a large family and since back then you didn't have to pay for kids..the drive-in was the way to go for entertainment. No seat belts back then either (not saying that is a good thing..lol) so six little girls piled into the back seat of the old Chevy and away we went for loads of fun! There were times we had to collect and sell beer and pop bottles to get enough for the adult fares...but even that was fun to do together. We loved the old westerns and then Elvis arrived and seeing 2 or 3 Elvis movies in one evening was just about the best for us girls (we were teeny boppers by then). Oh, and we did get to see some horror flicks back then, too...though by todays standards they would seem tame...we could scream with the best of them! We all cried watching the old "King Kong" too. As your mom said, thanks for the trip down memory lane...I may have to make a trip across Atlanta to the nearest remaining drive-in left in this area!Susie Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03941586040513560272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4611729726906724680.post-66991731510895467312013-04-11T19:42:39.429-07:002013-04-11T19:42:39.429-07:00Love this!!!Love this!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12318827665818692454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4611729726906724680.post-25266909141827424592013-04-11T19:30:24.503-07:002013-04-11T19:30:24.503-07:00This is excellent.

Back in the day, a Saturday I think, it was about social interaction that didn't include Facebook or Twitter. Going to the drive-in was a group experience and I miss those days. Thank you for the nudge to take yet another stroll down memory lane. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10551411528901491848noreply@blogger.com
