Do you Remember Drive-In Movies?

Do you remember drive-in movie theatres?  They’re almost a thing of the past now.  I haven't been to one since 1971.  In fact, I have clear memories of the event because by then, it was a rare occurrence.  However, when I was a child, our favorite form of entertainment, along with Sunday afternoon drives, was the drive-in movies.  We never went to an indoor movie theatre.

A love of movies is in my
blood
 I grew up with parents who were movie fans.  Whenever there was a little extra money, we'd go to the movies.

In spite of a lack of money, mom and dad still wanted to go to the show, and so we'd hunt around the house for lost coins.  If we were lucky, we'd find a few between the sofa cushions.  If we couldn't find enough change, there was always the possibility of cashing in some empty pop bottles.  My parents were also coca-cola fans.
