Nowadays, in many areas, a drive in theater without a second or third screen is hard to find. some would even cease to exist without the additional patronage that multi screens pull in. It was a great pleasure that we were able to visit the magnificent single screen drive in theater in Kenton, Ohio. The neon lit marquee is certainly unique, at least in our travels. Have any of you viewers ever seen a marquee like this gracing the ticket booth entrance? Where? At multi screen venues, the different audiences mingle at the snack bar, with some enjoying a comedy and others perhaps a horror movie. The nice thing about a single screen site is that it is more of a shared experience. Everone you see in the snack bar just sank on the Titanic, or, visited the planet of the apes. You just don't get that at the multi-screens. Economic realities will make these single screen classic drive in theaters to become more and more rare, but, here you can click a button and relax with the OUTDOOR MOOVIES crew at yet another drive in adventure. This nine minute clip is in 3 parts, with very short black spots in between. Thanks for viewing. Your COMMENTS would be greatly appreciated.

  • spent a lot of time there in the 60s with my first X wife, did't see a lot of movies,steamed windows,as drive in people can relate to.........

  • @tutthedog1 I can relate. My passion pit was the Lansing MI STAR LITE. It was my senior year in high school and I remember once having to get my girlfriend back home so early we were only there for an hour of the first movie, but hey, the box office opened so early and we went there early, to be first, and got some personal time there, too. I loved taping this at the HI - ROAD. You're lucky to still have it, my STAR LITE is alas...an empty lot.

  • This made my day. I remember this drive-in very well from my youth in the 50's & 60's. Living in Texas now, I haven't seen the Hi-Road since 1966. Thanks for the posting. Glad to see it's alive and well.

  • @devryxd Your comment made my day. Thank you so much!
