Drive-ins bring back wave of nostalgia
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
During a recent drive through Alabama I saw a drive-in theater and it started my thinking wheels in motion.
I remember as a kid going to one and thinking it was so much fun. Where else could you laugh as loud as you wanted and not bother anyone? Where else could you open up a bag without disturbing anyone with paper crinkling noise? So I did a little research this past weekend and put in drive-in theaters into Google and came up with an interesting site. Driveintheater.com is a giant listing, state by state of where some are still located.
And while, Georgia does have some, they’re just not close by. Some developer or investor could surely build something like that since we still have plenty of open spaces in Fayetteville and Fayette County. I know Peachtree City did it this past weekend where residents could bring their golf carts to the Wyndham Peachtree Conference Center. And while it’s not the real deal it sure is close enough.
Why not bring back a little bit of nostalgia. I would welcome a drive-in movie theater, would you?
