Last weekend I told my wife if she wanted to take the kids to the drive-in. She said OK, we hadn't been to a drive-in for maybe around ten years. I asked my kids if they wanted to go to the drive-in, they are 10, 7 and 4. They're reply was - What is a drive-in? Wow, I wasn't prepared for that. I just didn't think about it, that they would not know what a drive-in was. I should have though, never thought about it much but you just don't hardly see any drive-ins out there anymore. I can remember going to the drive-in with friends sometimes just for a place to hang out at, sometimes not even paying attention to the movie. I must let you know that I'm in my thirties so I was not around in the hay day of drive-ins when they were the most popular like in the 50's and 60', but in the early 80's (my time), all us kids knew what a drive-in was and most of us had been to the drive-in theater at least one time. Anyways, we were looking for a drive-in to go to and actually found only one, that's right, one. We live in Los Angeles County and the first ones I thought about were the ones I used to go to as a kid. First choice was the Foothill drive-in at Azusa, CA. - Found out it had been turned into a college parking lot. Next choice was the Sundown drive-in, I believe in Whittier, CA - Learned that it had been demolished at the turn of the century. My final try was one in the San Fernando Valley in I believe Van Nuys, CA. I had been to a few times - Heard through the gravevine it didn't exist anymore. The only one I was able to find was the Vineland Drive-In in the city of Industry. I believe it is the only one left in Los Angeles County. Makes me wonder how many there are still across the USA. I don't know but I sure hope this one stays open because I'm one who likes to visit the drive-in once in a while instead of going to a walk in. Like mentioned earlier I have not been to one in ten years until recently but I think me and the family will go a little more now and then before they become extinct. By the way, the kids loved it.
