Drive-in movies are once again popular. When I was around 12, I spent my summers on my grandparents’ farm outside of Jeffersonville Indiana. Together with 4 orphaned cousins, we would walk a couple miles to the Lakewood Drive-In. We snuck under the fence and watched the movie sitting in the grass. There was no sound, but it was all we could afford. We bought soft drinks, so the Lakewood made a little on us. This was long ago—the Lakewood has long ago been torn down, replaced by a subdivision.
(Jack Norworth & Albert Von Tilzer, sorry)
Take me out to the drive-in,
Take me out to the movies,
Buy me some popcorn and soda pop,
I don’t care if I ever come home,
Let me cheer, cheer, cheer for the good guys,
If they don’t win, it’s a crime,
It’s one, two, three movies, you’re done,
At the old drive-in.
