NWFlyer 2 #1 February 2, 2007 My mom sent me a link to this story about the drive-in near their house, where the community took it over and reopened it. I know there was still one around here about 5 or 6 years ago, but I think it's closed. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

ImGunnaJump 0 #3 February 2, 2007 When I was in high school and saw Grease. A friend had us stop just before we drove in so he could hop in the trunk just so he didn't have to pay! But then again... maybe he just didn't want anyone to know he was going to see Grease!
