p.s. Haven't been to a drive-in movie since 1970. Assuming that drive-in movies still exist, do they still have those heavy metallic speakers that you hung inside of your window to hear the movie?
They still exist and the ones that have survived still pack the lots most weekends, at least around this area.
I'm almost too young to remember the heavy metallic speakers but for the most part they aren't around anymore. Drive-ins these days still have the poles up that the speakers were mounted on when not in use but for sound, you simply tune your radio to a certain frequency.
2013 was actually a make or break year for several drive-ins and saw an even further decline in them as the film industry stopped producing the 35mm film that most of them used so they either had to pony up close to $100k for new digital projectors or close up shop.
(Sorry about adding the underline to your post, but I wanted others to know where I took it from. Don't worry, it won't effect your original post.)
"I'm almost too young to remember". What a wonderful predicament to find yourself in. It beats the Hell out of "I'm almost too old to remember." That's where I am today.
So, if I read you right, there are a few drive-in theaters that are still alive and doing well. However, it's costing them big bucks to adapt their theaters to modern technology. I wouldn't worry about them. As long as cars have back seats, they'll do just fine...
