The Mustang Drive In, My Artsy Pic For Today

Inspired by a picture taken on my Sunday drive:

"The Mustang Drive In"

 Do you remember going to the drive-in, smuggling buddies in the trunk, or 'bumper jumping' the couple 'necking' in the car ahead. The show started at dusk so you had to get there early, although you weren't missing much if you came later since the feature movie always started after dark. Of course the intermission and a trip to the snack bar was another highlight of the evening. Maybe cruise the main drag after and then head to the A&W for a Mama Burger and root beer.

We were out for a drive on Sunday, a rather rare occurrence since I've only used a tank-and-a-half of gas all year. In our quest for a self-serve roadside fruit/veg stand we drove by the revived Mustang drive-in theatre and I had to stop and take a picture or two. I know of 3 Mustang Drive-Ins. One here in London, one in Belleville/Picton/Quinte and one in Guelph. There is apparently one also in California.

My Recent Original Picture

 It was nice to get out of the house and with the cooler weather of late we didn't need to run the a/c and drove along with the windows down. What a treat!


 

And this scene exists only in my mind.
