MY STORY OF THE DRIVE-IN THEATERS,AS A KID THERE WASN’T ANYTHING MORE EXCITING DURING A HOT SUMMER DAY, WHEN YOU’RE PARENTS TOLD YOU THAT WE ARE GOING TO THE DRIVE-IN MOVIES THAT NIGHT ,AND I COUNDNT WAIT UNTIL IT WAS DARK, IT MADE MY DAY.

NOT ONLY THAT, AS SOON AS YOUR FRIENDS FOUND OUT, YOUR FAMLIY WAS GOING TO THE DRIVE-IN THAT NIGHT, YOU HAD A LOT OF BEST FRIENDS FOR THE DAY.

UNFURTUNATLEY ,I COULD ONLY INVITE ONE PERSON, WE HAD A FAMILY OF FIVE AND BACK THEN, WE ONLY HAD A SMALL COMPACT CAR,. BUT SOMETIMES MY FATHER WOULD ALLOW, A FEW OF MY FRIENDS TO SNEEK IN THE TRUNK OF THE CAR , BECAUSE THERE WASNT ANY MORE ROOM IN THE SEATED AREA.

IT WAS REALLY FUNNY, BECAUSE HE DIDN’T WAIT UNTIL WE GOT TO THE DRIVE-IN ENTRANCE WAY, MY DAD SAID IF YOU WANT TO GO, YOU HAVE TO GET IN THE TRUNK NOW, IT'S A GOOD THING FOR THEM,THAT WE ONLY LIVED 5 MINUTES AWAY.

 WE COULD HEAR THEM LAUGHING ALL THE WAY TO THE DRIVE-IN ,IN THE TRUNK OF THE CAR, IT WAS REALLY FUNNY.

LIVING ON THE EAST COAST OF BOSTON , WE DON’T HAVE A LOT OF DRIVE-IN THEATERS HERE ANYMORE, MOST OF THEM HAVE ALL CLOSED ,PROBABLY BECAUSE THE LAND THEY WERE ON ,WAS WORTH MORE THAN WHAT THE DRIVE-IN MADE IN A YEARS, NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE LOST QUITE A BIT OF DRIVE-INS IN MASSACHUSETTS AREA.

THERE ARE STILL A FEW REMAINING IN MASS AREA ,AND THEY ARE LOCATATED IN (LEICSTER MASS),(SHARON,MASS) (MENDON, MASS) (LUNENBURG, MASS), JUST THE FEW THAT ARE STILL OPERATING TODAY IN MASSACHUSETTS.

THE DRIVE-IN, I WAS VERY FAMILIAR WITH ,WAS THE REVERE DRIVE-IN, LOCATED IN REVERE MASSACHUSETTS, WE WENT THERE FOR YEARS, AND I AM NOT SURE WHAT WAS SO EXCITING ABOUT GOING TO THE DRIVE-IN.

MAYBE BECAUSE YOU GOT TO STAY UP LATE, OR MAYBE IT WAS PLAYING,THE VIDEO GAMES, OR SOMETHING SIMPLE ,LIKE THROWING A FREESBIE AROUND WITH YOUR FRIENDS,BEFORE THE MOVIE STARTED OR WHEN YOUR DAD GOT MAD WHEN THE METAL SPEAKERS.

THAT HOOKED UP TO YOUR WINDOWS, DIDN’T WORK ,AND YOU DIDN’T FIND OUT UNTIL THE MOVIE STARTED ,AND YOU HAD TO MOVE TO FIND A SPEAKER THAT WORKED, WHILE THE MOVIE WAS JUST STARTING,BUT IT SURE WAS A BLAST.

AND EVEN IF THE BUGS DID EAT YOU ALIVE, IT WAS WORTH EVERY BUG BITE, FROM HEAD TO TOE, IF YOU CAN REMEMBER SOME OF THESE MOMENTS, LIKE I DID ,THEN YOU KNOW WHAT I AM TAKING ABOUT.

I STILL TO THIS DAY, HAVE A CRAVING FOR THOSE GREASY EGG ROLLS, THAT TASTED SO GOOD, BUT THEY WERE SO SATURATED IN FAT, THAT YOU COULDN’T EVEN EAT THEM TODAY,WITH OUT A FEW ROLAIDS ,AND THE FRENCH FRIES TO.

BUT NEVER THE LESS,I HAVE ALWAYS HAD NOTHING BUT GOOD MEMORIES, AS A KID GOING TO THE DRIVE-INS, BUT THERE ARE ONLY A HANDFULL LOCATED IN AND AROUND ,THE EASTERN PART OF MASSACHUSETTS , SO I HAVE TO ASK AGAIN( WERE HAVE ALL THE DRIVE-INS GONE).
