I remember my older cousin taking me and my brother to a Drive-In movie when I was really little.  I vaguely remember the movie that was playing on that big screen was "The Birds".  I really remember the experience more than anything.  Since then I've often wished I could relive it all over again. 

Even with tv and netflix movies there's just something about the Drive-in Movie that is on a different level altogether.  Being parked out under the wide open sky, waiting as the other cars roll in and park all around.  And just as it's getting dark you making the stroll over to the concession stand for goodies to eat and drink during the movie.  (Usually even a double feature!)  If you're really lucky your Drive-In still has the old fashioned speakers but some places you just turn to a certain number on your radio to hear the movie which is neat too. 

 I honestly thought Drive-Ins were a thing of the past.  I haven't seen or heard of one since I was little.  Boy, was I happy when I found the website that showed me in a not-so-far-away town there is an old Drive-In still doing business and the cost is only 6 bucks for an adult admission and even cheaper for kids.   It's been lots of years since I went to a Drive-In movie when "The Birds" was playing but I'll be going again before long!  I hope they have a concession stand!
