my 3D-TV is better lol BTW i dont have one lol

so many people maybe had their first kiss there awwwwwwwww lol

wow. i can't believe i stumbled across this. i saw the lion king when i was 9 years old at that drive-in. it was so sad when it died. there is another really cool one that is abandoned near thomaston connecticut, you can see it from rt. 8. i took a few shots there. there really is something about abandoned drive-in theaters. they're not like abandoned hospitals, the theaters hold happy memories and good times.

i remember before the one in calgary closed the last one i saw in a drive in theater was godzilla. the resent one.

Here in Coxsackie NY we have the Hi-Way drive in theater that has grown over the years to four screens. We are very lucky to have it...This is a great site!!

I remember seeing Thank God It's Friday at the drive in (in Texas) in my dad's 1956 Ford stationwagon. I was 7...

I believe Canada's right that it was American Graffiti. Every year one of the local classic auto clubs hosted a night where that movie was shown, followed by a cruise up and down the pike. In 1987 or so there were so many muscle cars that the entire road shook from McDonalds to Roy Rogers.

wow it makes me wonder why town becom abandon,ya know like a sickness or goverment

Last thing on that sign was something about a flee market. You must've been there within a year or two before it was completely torn down, it wasn't very long before that when the sign was still complete.
Typical CT, between the yuppies whining about noise and the plague of ghettos, everything of any interest gets destroyed.
Theres still a dozen or two active drive-ins in CT alone, just have to know where to look.

btw, the comment about the "nest of filth," really Virginia, you must get out more.

just imagine all the first kisses that happened here. or all the young couples that walked by this lamp holding hands.

what is it now

Wow, I can remember going there as a kid to see Snow White on the big screen. It's odd to see it in decay. To bad it's gone now..

Inside the little building to the right is where all the amps should be, if there's amps in there that are labelled Western Electric or Northern Electric or anything with tubes in it. There worth a fair amount on Ebay this could be an untouched gold mine of old stereo equipment

There's a Drive-In in Winnipeg, MB (Canada) similar to this. It was closed down last year, unfortunately. Many fond memories, gone.

chevy cammaro, all the car clubs went up for the night, we all cruzed the pike..we danced to the 50's music..good family fun.GONE...
