Drive-in movies. We still had them in the 80s when I was a teenager living in Hawaii. A date at a drive-in meant making out the whole time and missing the movie.
I know of 2 within an hour from me. One of them has 3 different screens, so depending on the timing of the six movies being shown, you can sometimes move to a different screen to watch a movie you prefer as the double feature.

About 35 minutes from where I live a new drive in Theater opened...they show a-list new release movies...I didn’t think it would last, but it’s still operating...

There's one in Fort Worth that gets pretty good business. It's on Panther Island. Why it's named that, I don't know. The Drive in is the Coyote Drive-in.

Speaking of drive-ins, and some of you were, the strangest one I ever saw was back in the 70's outside of Fayetteville, AR. Instead of one or two screens, this one had a concession stand in the middle, surrounded by small out facing screens in a complete circle. There were no speakers, you tuned to a low power position on the FM dial for the sound.

Wow, miss those. They checked the oil, tires and cleaned the windows and often got a good squirrel shot in on the passenger in the front seat. The giveaway was cleaning the same spot for 2 minutes.
I worked/ ran a full service station a time or two,,,but I remember the trading stamps the big name stations used to give out and you'd fill out a book with them for some kind of sundry item, mom always fueled at Phillips 66(it was well before I was 10 years old when they stopped giving out stamps,I remember being disappointed cuz' there was a rocketship or dinosaur or something I was angling for with that 1/3rd of a book I'd put together):lmao2::lmao::lmao2:

This might seem creepy to some ,but I'd called my parents old phone number from when growing up,as it popped into my mind one night after midnight a couple weeks ago( I don't know what I was after),,,it came back with that pitched climbing tone with no longer in service/ disconnected recording,,,whew!
