    There's one in Tulsa Ok. The Admiral Twin, just re-opened after a fire. Went this past Saturday night with the wife an boys. It's about 45 minutes from Muskogee but well worth the trip. We put lawn chairs and bean bags in the back of the truck.
     
  4. San Jose Ca has Capitol drive in. Been around forever.

  10. As I understand the story the Panther drive in theater in Lufkin, TX was the largest ever with a capacity for 3,500 cars. I remember seeing the huge black panther painted on the backside of the screen when visiting relatives in Lufkin. I doubt if it is still in operation though.

  20. I used to have a set of lights from the Starlight in Hamilton over the boardroom table in my office.

    The Starlight Six in Atlanta is a great old drive-in. Lotsa good time there.
     
  21. I've been to this one too...
