Yeppers.
There's only a few, but we're lucky enough to live by one. It's fantastic. Speakers are a thing of the past, you pull the sound in on your car radio. They have a section in the back for "big vehicles," so you're never stuck behind somebody's van in a small car. (We have a VW bus, so we park in the back.) It's a two screen theater and they try and match the movies up so you don't end up with "Shrek 2" followed by a slasher flick. First run movies, too. Wowzers.
During the day on weekends, it's a swap meet. A really good swap meet, too. The first Saturday of the month is "Electronics Day." Stuff like that. I can't tell you the number of times we've turned "lack of space" into "folding money" there. I used to turn the 25 cent books into $2 books on eBay once upon a time. I imagine that the swap meet helps the drive-in stay a drive-in, although every time I've gone it's been busy.
I think drive-ins are the perfect way to see a movie. We can talk, bring in our own munchies, smoke, and not worry about somebody trying to shove past on the way to the rest room. I really don't understand why they're a dying breed.
