Seventy seven years ago the New York Yankees won the World Series, the Mars bar is introduced, singer Johnny Cash was born and a man named Richard M. Hollingshead was building the first ever drive-in movie theater from his backyard.
The drive-ins are a great way for family and friends to get together and enjoy a good, relaxing night out. Last night I went to the drive-ins for my friends birthday with Amir. We had this wonderful idea of putting our couch cushions in the back of his pick up, went to Walmart and bought a $15 FM portable radio and cozied up with a bottle of wine.
It was so cool seeing all the strangers around us. The family behind us brought their grill and were cooking up some burgers, the old couple diagonal from us brought a card table and were playing poker, dogs were running around the enormous dirt parking lot, and me and Amir were just enjoying each others company and didn't even notice that the selection of movies were just mediocre. Before we knew it all our friends had left for the evening and we looked at each other and thought we could easily stay here all night. It was truly a wonderful experience and I can't wait to do it again.
Next time though I'm bring Suzie. We missed her.
