Growing up in Central Pennsylvania, we had not one, but TWO Drive-In Movie Theaters nearby. One now houses a Kohls store, but the other one - The Cumberland Drive In - is still going strong. Tomorrow they will open their 57th season of movies under the stars.
The Concession Stand still looks exactly the same way as it did when I was in high school. And probably the same as when my DAD went to high school.
Glamorous, ain't it?!? The Cumberland Drive-In was one of the first "big deal" places that my friends and I could go when we learned how to drive. My friend Stacey had this old Buick (or Pontiac, or Studebaker or something) and she would drive about 8 of us to "The Drive In" for movies and carousing. And can you believe it, we were such good kids that we didn't even drink!! Unlike, I'm sure, my father and his friends...
I would love to go back to the Cumberland just one more time - there's no telling how many more seasons they have left. Read the full story HERE.
