From publisher Ed Zinke comes this photo and note on a "found" drive-in from Bristol, Tennesee, where he was for the Super Chevy Show in September. What do you think caused the death of the drive-in? Personally, I think it was buckets seats, consoles and floor shifters, which presented a big obstacle for doing what you went to the drive-in to do in the first-place—and I'm not talking about watching a double feature!!

To quote Ed, "While at Super Chevy Show in Bristol we spotted this functioning drive in. In Bristol? When was the last time you where at the local pashion pit or even still have one in your area?"

For me it was 10 years ago in New York state, just north of the Jersey border. Went there with my wife and year-old son, Sam. In Jersey, we call that "upstate New York," which is preposterous because it's the southern-most part of the state. But that's how we differentiate New York City from New York State.

For instance, if you say, "I went to New York," it means you went to Manhattan. But if you say, "the drive-in is located in upstate New York," it just means it is just over the border. Make sense? I didn't think it would, at least not to anyone not from New Jersey.
