We used to walk in through the woods to watch movies there. This would be around 1971. There was always a big crowd of kids there without cars, and as best I can remember, management never seemed to make TOO big a deal about it. Drank my very first beer there..

My friends and I often walked through the woods to get there too. There was a well beaten path from behind the church to the back of the Turnpike. Drank many beers there. We would stop at Westmere Beverage to stock up and if we ran low before the second feature we would go out the back to the Star Market to restock.

This was the place to be when I was a kid 1972 to 1976 were the peak yrs of my generation. We had a fort about a football length away, we use to run an electrical cord from the drive in to our fort. It was great while it lasted which wasn't long. Smoked a lot of weed there drank a lot of booze as well was lucky enough to score some pussy. Great times but like everything else we grew up, and moved on and besides the place closed in 1983. I'm sure I even know the other 2 who left a comment.
