Tiny Drive-In For A Cramped City

By Jen

Editor

Living in a city where most normal people can’t afford to own and store a car, wouldn’t you long for a trip to the drive-in? Now car-starved Manhattanites can have their cake and eat it tooat the world’s smallest drive-in theater. The DRV-IN is a one-car stall is inhabited by a projection screen, a simulated star-filled night sky, and a 1965 Falcoln convertible, seating six. Movie-goers can book the car and their choice of films for seventy-five bucks per screening. Unless you really do plan to pack the Falcon with six people, that could be an expensive datebut in a town where a parking spot for your car can cost as much as most other cities’ two-bedroom apartments, it must seem like a bargain.

Y’know what else should make a comeback? ’50s style Hot Shops. y’know, think girls on rollerskates, trays, neon etc. well, I guess for insurance purposes the roller skates would have to go, but I yearn for the nostalgia.

ridiculous. has none of what the drive-in experience offered, and unfortunately drive-ins went to the wayside because PEOPLE changed. Pretty much the same reason why old theatres aren’t around either. People thought having 15 movies playing at a cineplex had more to offer.

It’s sad how times change. Used to be drive-ins were only partlt about the movie, the rest was the cars, the girls… the experience. It’s all gone now, and this concept is a small screen and ONE car in a narrow space. Sorry… it’s pathetic.

Awesome, but I’m lucky enough to have one of the last(and oldest) remaining drive-ins only a half an hour from my house. If they’re playing something I don’t like, I could always just hang a sheet on the barn and grab the projector just like Clark Kent did in Smallville. Anyway, I hear there’s a chance drive-ins could make a comeback. Alot of kids have never seen one in person so its a good business proposition if you got the land…
