I miss Drive-In movies! I heard a news report Wal-Mart was going to
- Thread starter Freddie.B.Cocky
- Start date
I loved in them a lot as a teenager! 2 burgers, 2 drinks, 2 tickets,...........$2.50!!
It's still there...so is the one on Volunteer Parkway in Bristol just past the race track....
Exactly. As Dusty Rhodes would say, I was engaged in some "Rithky Bidness".
Have you ever attended the one near the TN/NC state line? And if so was it nice, relatively speaking of course? Example, nice concession stand, etc.
A guy I know that lives in Marion, NC goes out to New Mexico quite often to visit relatives. He was telling me that there is a stretch of interstate near Albuquerque that has some type of "speed bumps" and one can roll down the windows in the car and drive at 45 miles/hr and the "road plays" God Bless America.
I had some relatives that lived within a couple of miles of the one on Whitehorse Rd.
it was in the parking lot of the building next to texas roadhouse
If i remember correctly back in the early-mid 80s the one in Lexington was showing Bruce Lee or some kinda x rated at the time.i was only about 12 so i could be wrong about the x rated part.somebody turned it into a driving range and i bought a set of clubs there.I live about a mile off of two-notch rd and its a straight shot to the big mo.
Don’t know about restrooms there but to say they are as good as the ones at many outdoor events. I’ve been there many times and drive in is great there. 3 different screens with triple features, if you want to stay that long.
Where at off 2 Notch Rd do you live?? Just askin'. I lived in Lake Carolina for 10 years. Just curious. No biggy.
Gotcha. Ol gal used to cut my hair out in Gilbert. Lake Carolina is on the Lugoff side/part of Two Notch. Its all good.
Peace
The very best Mexican Food anywhere. I have heard it’s because of the local peppers, but you haven’t had the best until you have been there. Margaritas too.
I worked at the Belmont on Wade Hampton as a young teenager! (14). Fun times!!
Oh yeh, the Belmont is where they put a big sporting goods store at one time...it kind of sit down the hill...is that correct?
Years ago we had one here in Sumter. Cool place. I’d love to see one open up here in the future.
I'm going to get a 65" screen soon. But there is just something special about going to a Drive In movie. You are outdoors with other people and it is just enjoyable.
Yeah, it sat down the hill. I remember the sporting goods store after you mentioned it.
I forgot to reply to asking if I had been the Stateline Drive In in Elizabethton...I have not...I have been tempted recently to go to the one off Volunteer Parkway in Bristol....
On a different note, we plan to visit Erwin next week if all goes well. We are going to take a picnic lunch and find the state park Rock Creek I believe is the one you mentioned. I can't wait to go.

Here is a little more info to help you....if you need directions, let me know which way you are coming...my guess is, the quickest way from Marion is to come up to Spruce Pine and come across into Tennessee that way...or are you going over to Asheville and come up I26?
Oh wait, I thought y'all had decided on Unaka Springs by the Nolichuky River Gorge...

You could actually do both...but it would make it an all day affair...
Be sure to look at all the photo's on the nolichucky site...some of the most relaxing photos and prettiest scenes in the entire mountain south...

Well, when we were small kids we watched the movies. We were too small to know what it was all about.
We will be coming up via Asheville. Sometimes we go via Newland but it is usually bit busy traffic wise and a little more dangerous than going via I-40 to Asheville and I-26 to Erwin. Plus, I love Sam's Gap, a beautiful area in the mountains.
I like The Big Moe but I have purchased a very nice projector and created my own backyard theater next to my pool. It’s a very sweet setup.
had a neighbor admit to me a few months ago he and his wife sit often sit their hot tub on their patio and watch my backyard movies.
