I thought this was a fairly cool sign.
They still use hang-on-your-window metal speakers. neat!
I really love Drive-In movie theatres. I recommend a vehicle with a bench seat for better viewing pleasure, which brings to mind one of my favorite Cake songs:
Stickshifts & SafetybeltsStickshifts and safetybelts,
Bucket seats have all got to go.
When we're driving in the car,
It makes my baby seem so far.
I need you here with me,
Not way over in a bucket seat.
I need you to be here with me,
Not way over in a bucket seat.
But when we're driving in my malibu,
It's easy to get right next to you.
I say, "baby, scoot over, please."
And then she's right there next to me.
I need you here with me,
Not way over in a bucket seat.
I need you to be here with me,
Not way over in a bucket seat.
Well a lot of good cars are japanese.
But when we're driving far,
I need my baby,
I need my baby next to me.
Well, stickshifts and safetybelts,
Bucket seats have all got to go.
When we're driving in the car,
It makes my baby seem so far.
I need you here with me,
Not way over in a bucket seat.
I need you to be here with me,
Not way over in a bucket seat.

*I know, I know.. I promised some andy adventures, they're coming, don't get your "Judy, judy, judy" all in a tissy! It's just that there are quite a few un-andy, but very cool things in town I wanted to share as well.

Do you know the nights that it is open? We are going to be heading into Mt. Airy the day before Mayberry Days begin. I haven't been to a drive in theater since I was a kid. It would be so much fun.
Reminds me of the guy who said "Do you want to get in the back?" and SHE said "no, I'd rather stay in the front with you"!
I'm with you on the Drive-In nostalgia! If you are ever in the Columbia, SC area there is a drive-in in the Monetta area called the Big Mo that shows double features of new movies. My kids really enjoy going there even when it is 90 degrees at 9pm!!!!
Here's the link! www.thebigmo.com
I just love drive-ins! There's one nearby here that plays double features. Though my absolute favorite movie theater is a small privately owned where they sell home made cookies and have a small cafe attached that sells the world's best strawberry shortcake. All movies shown there are either indy or artsy flicks. Occasionally there is a major movie shown 3 months after it left the other theaters.
Such good pics by the way, you have a great eye. :)
Those are awesome black and whites! And Stickshifts and safety belts is one of my most favorite songs.
Can't wait to see more pics!

Drive-in theatres are the coolest! We have on about 45 minutes from here (the Big Mo!) and i LOVE to go! Alas, DH is not a fan, so out trips are infreqent. Seeing a horror movie at the drive in is the best fun a girl could ever have! :)
