June 6th is National Drive-In Movie Day. Shouldn’t it be Drive-In NIGHT????
It’s not as easy to see a drive in movie as it used to be……
As I’ve mentioned before, popcorn put me through college….
And Kingston was where I made it.
We also got to see the movies. Or hear them . Not always both at the same time, but after six nights, you had a clue. And we could always come in on our night off and watch, so yes, I went to the Drive-In to WATCH the movies.
And eat free popcorn, freshly made.
It was at the Drive-In I saw Star Wars
Not knowing anything about Star Wars before it first aired…it seemed to have dropped out of the sky.
Image a summer night sky and then…
Just think about this movie on a giant screen against the night sky.
Movie Magic.
I loved drive ins. They usually offered two movies for one price, and price was often by the car. We’d take picnics and arrive early. It was great fun. As for Star Wars, so it when it first opened, but in a movie theater, not a drive in. However, we did witness a couple of meteor showers while at drive ins — almost as entertaining. 🙂
