>>68983680
Yeah, and every year they keep saying it's the last year it'll be open because of reasons, yet every year it keeps on coming back.
>>
>>68983680
Yes
>>
>>68983680
3, but theyre only open for about 4 or 5 months out of the year so they dont make much money.
>>
Yes. I haven't been there in years but when I was in high school/college it was fun to go there during the summer and drink bear and half watch the movie with friends.
>>
>>68983680
Yeah, I'm glad, I go to it some times with my family.
>>
>>68983680
Can somebody explain why they began to go out of business?
>>
>>68983680
At least one.

I'd like to start a modern one, but I dunno how to run a business.

Go for it anon, but make sure to start a business plan.

Planning is the most important part, and with the internet you can learn everything and reach a huge audience. You can do it anon, I believe in you.

>>
>>68984591
That's a shame, you can get pretty comfy in the back of a car.

What do you think of the guy who is drilling her now?
>>
>>68983680

Yup. The guy/family who owns it is filthy fucking rich from other stuff so he probably doesn't care about how much money he makes (loses?) from his drive in
>>
>>68984151
Because the car culture itself changed. When they sprang up the car was the only way for the teenager to hide away from the parents, smoke, drink a beer and have sex. "Parking" was such a widespread phenomena that some towns made it illegal, and others had certain approved spots that'd get checked in on by the local cops on a regular basis, to try and curb the rate of teen pregnancies. Drive-In movies fit perfectly with this.

Nowadays you can go to the cinema with your girlfriend and kiss there without some frustrated old biddy gasping at the moral monstrosity of the act. Or at least the old biddy isn't taken seriously at the town meeting.
