So says a tv broadcast this morning. It's just a rumor so far. Going to the movies was a way to get out and about just to see people. It was a bit of a treat to do that. Now people are apparently just sitting home staring at their home televisions with an almost endless choice of things to watch. I guess some are building theater rooms to mimic a real movie house. Do drive in theaters still exist?


In many parts of the country you get to meet people you really didn't want to.

There is a real one in Butte. During covid a theater in Corvallis put a screen on the side of their building and created a drive-in. I think they've kept it up.

The one here closed in 2000. There isn't much of a season in Montana, Decoration Day to Labor Day mostly.

Yes. When I lived in Kansas there was one nearby, (it's still there), although we never went to it. Now that I'm in Mississippi, they're building a new one not too far away which is expected to be opening this summer.

There are several around Colorado

Check Google Maps. Search for "drive-in movie theater near me"

Thanks for the google maps tip ! I was surprised how many there were ...

American Motors? Makers of the Hudson and the Rambler.

There's one in Baltimore. I haven't been there. I went to another 30+ years ago but I think it's a HomeDepot now.

Yes, you will be able to order the Nash Rambler with all the options you select right from the website. Game changing for the auto industry.

You can get the optional AM/FM radio and a heater is standard. Ordered mine today and delivery will be Saturday since I'm a Prime member.

I like the horns. Did they make any sort of distinct sound?

FM too!! And a heater.

Maybe I should sign up for Prime.

This looks great. I'm glad the war-time steel quotas are gone now.

It has a clock too! And bench seats with cloth upholstery. All things that I want!

If you really want to save the whales get the Metropolitan:
