I stopped to take a couple of pictures and talked with some locals who said they go all the time. They also shared with me that there isn’t a lot else to do in that town!
Nicole and Emma were at the local gas stop shop, where they recognized me from the Golden Bachelor Show.
I also stopped at the local Tack Shop and looked at horse stuff. I bought a new leather horn bag at a good price. I love to check out small-town tack shops. Milton Freewater has lots of horse riders. So I was sure I’d find a lot of stuff! I wasn’t wrong!
Where else can I find a Drive-In Movie?
Port Townsend Wheel-In Motor Movie:
This drive-in has been operating since 1953 and offers FM Dolby Digital Stereo Sound, a snack bar, and made-to-order food.
Auto-Vue Drive-in Theatre: This is the only drive-in theater left in Eastern Washington.
Rodeo Drive-In Theater: This is the largest drive-in theater in Washington state and has three screens.
The rise of home entertainment led to a decline in drive-in theaters, which peaked in the late 1950s with over 4,600 locations. However, some say the classic American pastime is making a comeback, with many drive-ins converting to digital projection and offering new concessions.
I’m pretty sure the youth of today would appreciate having a drive-in theater to attend. I know we sure loved that in our teens and 20s. And even as a smaller kid if my memories serve me.
I hope they do make a comeback!
