We've been to two of the remaining. You have to have a radio in your car. They don't have the window hangers anymore. They have attendents with jump starters that walk around after the movie checking on the cars that haven't left.

The drive-in in Indy belonged to a guy who owed my dad a lot of money so we got free passes. I was in highschool and the week that I met my future wife, we went every night. Corvette Summer was playing.

We only have 3 left in MA...the local one straddles the MA/NH border. Used to have a lot of fun at a couple of them while I was in high school.

June 6 2024 is the official opening day of the Michigan Central Station that Ford purchased and renovated. I was there before construction started.
