Despite being a tech-savvy early-adopter type of publication, Wired also has genuine respect for the retro. On Wednesday they asked readers to send in photos of their favorite drive-in movie spots.
Growing up in the city, drive-ins weren't a regular part of my life, but I've been to a few in my time. I never experienced them as a teenager, where, if the movies I've seen are true, there isn't much movie-watching going on. As a little kid, though, it was a fun thing to sit in the car, watch a movie along with other people sitting in their cars, etc. When you put it that way it doesn't sound very exciting. But it was fun.
Add "drive-ins" to the list of things my kids will probably never experience. Oh well. Nothing lasts forever.
