There are just 348 drive-ins left these days. In 1980 there were 2400. They were great places to go in our younger days. Joyce would cook up a bushel basket of popcorn, we'd grab some soft drinks and head to the drive-in. Everyone went to drive-ins back in the fifties and sixties. The best thing ever was I actually met Joyce at a drive-in movie. I happened to park in the last open space there that night and that space was right next to her.
Back in the sixties, Joyce and I would go to the Pacific drive-in on the lower edge of Point Loma in San Diego. I remember many nights the fog would roll in from the ocean and block the screen, so they closed the drive-in and gave us a free ticket for the next trip there. In high school before our guys had steady girlfriends four or five of us would go to the drive-in. One would be driving an old 1950 Plymouth with the rest piled like chord wood in the trunk. I know that was wrong and the cost per person wasn't that much, but it was fun just to get away with something.
