There is one I know of here in the Denver area.

Did I tell you about the time back in 1964...Me and a date in the back seat...

There's one in Coldwater, Michigan about 20 minutes away from where I go to school called the Capri Drive-In. I've been there a couple times and it's a lot of fun - it's cheap ($5 for a double feature), they show good movies, and there's a fun family atmosphere. Actually, I'm the current chapter social chairman and I'm planning a sisterhood outing to see a movie there in September. :)

The Starlite Drive-In is still operational here in Durham, NC In the daytime it's a flea market/gun shop and at night it's movie time. I love going this time of year. Plust the snacks and food are cheap as hell!

There's one I know of about 45 minutes from where I live.

It's in Guthrie, OK.

The last drive-in in Hawaii closed in 1998.

I remember going there on the last weekend with about 20 of my friends. They had a triple feature that weekend: Blade, Dance with Me, and something else I can't remember.

They tore down the screens, but the parking lot is currently being used as a venue for a flea market on the weekends.

It's interesting that you posted something on drive-ins because I found an article in the Toronto Star about them today.

In the town I used to live and where my parents still live there is still a working drive-in. It was very fun in my highschool days.

Yup, there's also one in Ft Collins about 1/2 mile from where my parents used to live. It's fun to go in a pick up truck parked backwards with a cooler and lots of pillows and blankets. Fun high school memories...

There's one in San Diego (county), which is only about a 40 minute drive for me. Yet, I have never gone to a drive in :o

There's also one (at least there was one) back in Valpo when I was at school (maybe Shima-Mizu can confirm for me :D)...it was only open during the late spring into the early fall :p

Theres one in Sac off I-50. There used to be one in my hometown but they plowed it to built a multiplex and a nice shopping center with all kinds of restaurants. Nobody seems to miss it much.

I've driven past that one in Denver, I don't think I'd ever find it again even if I tried!!! I know there are 2 in northeast Tennessee near Elizabethton on the way up to Roan Mountain. Haven't been there in ages---my sister *biological* keep saying they are going to take me. Yea sure....

there's one left in el paso...and it's morphed into an x-rated place.
to look at it, one might say it screams sleezy.

Where do you go to school?

There used to be one in my city, but they turned it into a Meijers. There's one still in Dearborn, not too far from UMD, but also not too far from a not so nice area of the city. I've heard it's super trashed now.

I heard on the radio something about the Pontiac Silverdome (former home of the Lions) being a drive-in on weekends or something, and also some place in Plymouth or Canton.

The Miles Drive-In near where I lived is closed. there are three-four currently but they're on the west side.
