At first I had no idea, then I realized what they were. YES, I do remember them, and have a funny story about when swarms of mosquitos came in through the crack in the window where the speaker would hang. Crazy. It was at a drive-in theater where I saw Psycho. Talk about scary!! In our neighborhood, some people have recently opened up a drive-in theater reminiscent of the ones we went to, but the movie is broadcast over a radio station, which means you don't have to hang speakers on your window. :-)
I sure do remember these, although we didn't have a drive-in theatre near enough when I was growing up for us to go. There is one operating in a town about 45 minutes away from our house. Although we've never been, they always have the most current movies and are quite busy during the warmer months.
You coud not do without these at the drive-in theatre. Speakers for your roll up car windows, of course!
ReplyDeleteYep, fun times!
ReplyDeleteI had to teach my cast memebers in a recent production of "Grease" what these were, how to use them, and WHY you hang them up before you drive off!
ReplyDeleteOf course! I been to an outdoor movie a time or two or three in my teen years.

ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, there is still a working drive-in about 20 miles from here.
