The Drive-In... Do you still go?

Saw many a movie at the drive-in on Winnetka. There were large swap meets on Saturday afternoon there, as well. I bought the ugliest earrings in the world for my mother there. She kindly thanked me and then kept them in a box and never wore them. They were awful but I thought they were so, so pretty when I was a kid.

We had three or four drive in theaters in the Bay Area up until around 1985 -- and then, one by one, they slipped away into the night. I think my last drive in movie was Creepshow 2 -- not the best movie to bow out with, though truthfully, I didn't see too many quality flicks at the drive in. The list includes: The Incredible Melting Man, The Gong Show Movie, History of the World Part One, Back to the Future, Arnold, The Long Riders, Twinkle, Twinkle Killer Kane ... the list goes on and on. But I suppose we never really went to the drive in for the movie anyway. It always a date or just with the usual gang from school. Good times. But all gone.

they used to have one right down the street from me in Torrance. i remember i could see the screen from a family member's house. after that closed, we had to go to the Vermont. but that one was kind of ghetto. i think that one might still be open...im not sure.
