Nothing in Roadside Peek has gone through as much tumultuous change in the last 10 years as the land of the open-air big screens. Yes, the venerable drive-in theatre. Thanks to a VCR and now DVD/Blue Ray player in every household and multiplex-cinemas at every corner featuring stadium style seating, the drive-in movie theatre may soon become mentioned in the same breath as Blue Chip Stamp redemption locations and neighborhood skate board parks. "A good thing in its time, but ..." As we near the end of the 1st decade of the 21st century, the number of locations left standing are becoming fewer and fewer.
At one time, Orange County, California had many drive-in theatres to choose from. Well, like many remnants of decades past, drive-ins in this region have all disappeared. But you can still see them once more, here at Roadside Peek's Southern California Drive-ins.
The Northern California area still contains a multitude of drive-ins. Unfortunately, many have closed in the last few years. Looks like the strip mall bug is enveloping the area covered in Roadside Peek's Northern California Drive-Ins.
Some say that Southern and Northern California get all the fun. Others say that the Sunshine State's midsection is the best place to be. In either case, Roadside Peek's Central California Drive-Ins shows that the mid-state area still packs muscle when it comes to classic ozoners.
The Southwestern states possess jewels of their own. Including open-air theatres! At Roadside Peek's Southwest Drive-Ins, visit some of the Southwest's finest drive-in theatre treasures.
Next is Roadside Peek's Drive-Ins East. This roadside theatre section features drive-ins galore. But alas, many are no longer standing or have become threatened in recent years.
How about Roadside Peek's Drive-ins Midwest. Check out drive-ins here that are both open and closed.
See the drive-in theatres of the central states or Great Plains region here at Roadside Peek's Drive-in Theatres Great Plains.
And last, but certainly not least, is Roadside Peek's Florida
Drive-Ins. Featuring the finest of the Florida peninsula, this section
will attempt to take you where Disney World thus far does not... a drive-in!
How about the drive-in ozoners of the Rocky Mountains. Well, see some here at Roadside Peek's Drive-in Theatres Rocky Mountains.
As you visit these still open theatres, you are constantly reminded that the next time you're in the area, you may be buying a wrench or screwdriver at the very same spot as your radio listening post. Very strange!
