Haven't been to a regular movie theater since I found this place. And I visit often even though it's about an hour and change drive from where I'm at.this is definitely worth the drive. Tickets are cheap and the food is good.

Been there twice, ironic a couple years ago they where struggling to keep open. Now there the only movie theaters allowed to open.

The earliest memory I have of watching a movie was of E.T. in a drive-in theater. The drive-in disappeared not too long after that, which is really too bad. I remember having a good time.

The place has been around forever it seems, I have been patronizing since Purple Rain was released... God Bless Family Drive-In.
