East 50 Drive-In Theater
The drive-in theater was a great place to watch car movies in the
50s, 60s and 70s. It was cheap, dark and had the best popcorn
ever. My favorite haunt, the East 50 Drive-In Theater is gone
forever. We can't bring it back, but we can still see the great car
flicks. Here's Cruise Night Cars' pick for the top 10+. Order on-line,
stick the popcorn in the microwave, and then hang on!
