Yes, about 15 minutes away.

Yes It is the last one in the area

Yes. Six screens and still show double features.

Yes, it is about 2 miles away. They also run a huge flea market there every Sunday morning in the summer.

Yes, The South Drive-In Theater, Columbus. Never been, never will be in that part of town.

Yes, the Starllight Drive-in about 7 miles from me. Opened in 1958

Here is current admission price info. Way cheaper than the local theatre.

General Admission: $8 for ages 12 – 64, $6 for ages 65+ (and military/vet w/proof) , $4 for ages 3 – 12, children 2 & under are free! (Prices subject to change.) You get TWO movies for that price. Carload Nite – Thursdays during peak season (Memorial Day – Labor Day) for $16 per car.

None anywhere close. They went the way of the dinosaurs here sometime in the 70's and 80's. Lack of attendance in competition with mutiplex theaters and increasing property values making the land more desirable for other, more profitable uses.

I don't think there are any left around here....Houston area. I know for sure none out this way. With the heat, humidity, and mosquitoes...I don't think you could pay anyone enough to sit out in all that, much less have them pay to go. Years ago....yes...but times were simpler then.

None near me, the closest one I remember is about 150 miles away and probably gone by now. It had some sort of suggestive name, but I don't remember what it was. (I never went there, just knew where it was.)

Yay Capitol 6, watchme.

The nearest one is .about 80 miles away. Lots of memories going to drive-ins when in high school.

I'm surprised there are so many!

At Field of Dreams Drive-In, you can choose your favorite parking spot (online) and bring your own food ($5 charge)

Yes, One left, just a few miles away. There used to be 6 or 7 years ago. One was $1 per carload when I was a teenager in the stone age. The one left also hosts a flea market on Sundays in the good weather (not winter).

Wish there was one in this area. Ours closed up many years ago.

There seems to be about a dozen operating in Ohio.

watchme was referring to Capitol 6 in San Jose. I think there are still a few here and there around.

No, I haven't been near one in years.

I remember the older kids used to say they hid in the trunks of cars to sneak in, but I never saw that happen.

Our drive-in movie was along busy Rte. 30 in Ohio. As you drove down the rode you got a glimpse of what was showing. Sometimes you got a glimpse of something Mom and Dad didn't want you to glimpse!

pretty sure NJ is home of first drive-in movie... in Camden, NJ... or vicinity. there is still one way down in south Jersey on Delsea Drive in Vineland, NJ. have never been but thing it's a stylized version of the real thing. i don't think there are those poles with speakers for sound... think you tune to a radio frequency instead.

I think we have one about 20 minutes away - always meant to take my son when he was small but never did...I wonder if he'd have any interest now? I loved the drive in when I was a kid.

Not any more. DH and I used to go when we were dating - didn’t see much of the movie!! I think it closed 40+ years ago. And in a nearby town there was one that featured Adult Entertainment. We went with a big group of friends once and I thought that was terribly embarrassing.

The last I knew, there was one operating in Kansas City, about 1.5 hours from me.

Marylmi, where was the drive in?

Found this interesting site about drive-ins when I checked to see how many are still open in California. We currently have 17 active drive-ins in the state.
http://www.driveinmovie.com/CA.htm

That IS an interesting site, watchme. Very curious how so many are or were in podunk/small town places like the Central Valley (Fresno once had 6?) and inland locations in SoCal (one in Barstow is still active?). And how few are/were more centrally located in population areas, though I note a number on the SF Peninsula that are defunct. There was one in Hollywood that's not listed that I remember but I'm sure the land became too valuable for that use and it was built over long ago.

The last Long Island NY drive-in closed probaby 20 years ago. It's now a big flea-market. My home town of Clarence NY in western NY still has an old-fashion drive in. a few years ago, a couple got married there :The Transit Drive In.......

Kathy, the drive-in was located on 32 west of Alpena.

I think there was also one north of Alpena.

None anywhere around here (South Texas) that I know of. I can't imagine they would ever have been very popular here because of heat, humidity, mosquitoes, etc. I'm pretty surprised to learn that there are still some around, anywhere. I thought they'd all gone the way of the dinosaurs.

Rusty

I remember a drive-in that I went to as a teen. It was one dollar per car. Teens being teens, we'd pack as many kids as we could into a car to take advantage of the killer price. Stacked shoulder to shoulder and sitting on laps, it wasn't something I'd want to do now, but it was fun then. Once inside, we rarely watched the movies which were usually films that were so bad they never made it to the theaters. Instead we'd hit the snack bar and roam around tracking down other carloads of teens. Fun times!

It was torn down years ago to make way for an apartment complex.

rusty, a quick glance at the list of California locations suggests that the majority (though not all) are/were in inland locations, some in near-desert areas. "Inland" in California means very hot in the summertime (90s-100s) but no rain, few or no mosquitoes and no humidity. In such locations, sitting in the car would be uncomfortable. Rather, beach chairs in front of the car, or in backwards parked pickups or back lid open minivans is/was the preferred approach.

That site missed a few I remember in the greater Bay Area. There was the Nimitz Drive In in Fremont and one other, two in Hayward and one in San Leandro. The Hilltop in Richmond and the Rancho in San Pablo. San Jose had several also, the El Rancho San Jose Auto which showed adult movies and later porn, and one other whose name eludes me.

Wow, drive-ins ... loved them as a child and the last time I went to one as an adult was in 1986 in Westminster in Orange County, CA. It was I believe the last of the drive-ins in OC and closed in '97.

Interesting, Elmer. I'm sure 90 degrees with 0% humidity and no mosquitoes would be quite nice compared to 90 degrees with 70% humidity and hoards of dive bomber sized mosquitoes. Staying in the car, with it running so the AC could stay on would be the only way you could watch a drive in movie here in the summer. And much of the winter, too.

Rusty

Yes, about 30-ish? Maybe more minutes away. Marquee out front has either two movies, or same one on both screens sometimes.

rusty, not 0% relative humidity, but usually below 40% when it's hot. Think desert dry like Phoenix or Las Vegas. Not usually that hot but in inland Cal without humidity, that's the sensation.

10 listed for MO, one is 20 mi. from us in Houston.

Yes, there's one about 15 minutes from me. I went there as a teenager.
