I grew up just up the road from the Drive-In (by where the Expressway now crosses Oliver Road) and, when we were kids, my friends and I would sneak into the back of the parking area through the bush off Golf Links Road to watch the movies for free. We would lay on the teeter-totters at the front facing the screen and there were always enough speakers turned on for us to hear the movies. I saw my first spaghetti western (A Fistful of Dollars) that way. When I think back on it, I realize that the staff must have known what we were doing, but they didn't seem to mind (we knew better that to try to see a restricted movie).<br /><br />I now live in Southern Ontario and am lucky enough to have a drive-in nearby (The Mustang Drive-in near Guelph), so my kids have also been able to have the "drive-in experience". The place here is usually pretty busy: I agree with Corey that everybody in Thunder Bay would love the retro experience and would probably support a new drive-in.GRWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01561257554739217311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639554780092170236.post-24379101054744571872012-10-07T20:02:29.857-04:002012-10-07T20:02:29.857-04:00Thanks for the great comment Bro...

It makes sense as the entrance is right across from The Thunder Bay Country Club. I wish Thunder Bay could get a Drive-In theatre back some day as everybody loves retro. Fantastic post with awesome horror poster pictures. Horror movies were much better back then with more psychological terror compared to the blood and gore you often see now. Thanks.
