Drive in Movie Theaters

[Old Moparz]

Vineland , NJ , i beleive they have a retro night or a car show night in the summer

Cool, you have a drive-in in NJ again. 

I remember not long ago reading that NJ had no more of them. There used to be 2 or 3 in the Bergen County area where I lived, but those are all gone. The one in Paramus is now part of the Garden State Plaza parking lot, the one in Little Ferry is now condos I think.

There used to be an active one in Newburgh, NY that is actually still physically here. I moved here in 1989 & it was already closed, but then in the early to mid 90's someone restored the projection booth / snack bar building with plans to reopen. The screen is there, but mostly just the frame & a few white panels. The person who was going to reopen was trying to get a zoning variance to have flea markets on weekends, but the surrounding neighborhoods freaked out saying it was not in the areas best interest. The guy also died during this process & his family had no interest in going on with it.

I'm sure a vacant drive in since the 1980's with a now collapsed building, is a much better improvement.

The last time I went to a drive-in movie was in the early 90s and now that one is shut down. In fact, the company I work for took the property over after the place closed. There were three other drive-ins within 10 miles but now they're all gone too. The only one left that's within decent driving distance is the 99 W Drive-In in Newberg about 40 miles away. I think the only reason it survives is because it shares property with a regular movie theater and there isn't much competition with the big-n-fancy first run 3D extravaganza theaters in that city.

I see this sad sign probably three days a week:

Ahh yes, the drivein movies.
Where as hormonally challenged youngsters we would spend many a Friday or Saturday night with our girlfriends.
There used to be sh1tloads of driveins here in my part of the world, but sadly they died a slow death on the back on VCRs and Video Ezy stores much to my dismay.
The only two left I'm aware of here are either 1hr north or 3hrs south of me.
Looks like I won't be attending one again in a hurry.
So sad

We just went to one South of Dalas last week. If there's a drive in within 100 miles we'll go to it when on vacation.

And of course we always go to the one by Carlise when we come down for the show
