Author Topic: First Drive-in Show Daryl C. W. O'Shea Film God Posts: 3977 From: Midland Ontario Canada (where Panavision & IMAX lenses come from) Registered: Jun 2002 posted 06-27-2005 06:24 PM                        Wow, I've never heard of car load nights on a non-traditional per-capita night. I guess at $17 the studios figure they'd get just as much anyway (which is about right). People wonder why I get annoyed by customers that complain about $7 and $15 CDN ($5.60 and $12 US) carload nights on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 06-30-2005 09:21 AM                       quote: Nope Tim, guess again, you know where I live!

Now, where is this "other" drive-in you speak of...?  |  IP: Logged Paul Goulet Master Film Handler Posts: 347 From: Rhode Island Registered: Jan 2000 posted 06-30-2005 01:33 PM                        Rachel, http://www.mendondrivein.com/ "The MendonTwin Drive-in was built in 1953 and opened on June 14, 1954. The drive-in has been in operation for 46 years. The current owners, Susan Swanson and Kathy Gorman have operated the drive-in since 1987. Sue and Kathy added a second screen in 1998, increasing the total capacity of the drive-in to 800 cars. Our projection booth is equipped with the latest in sound and picture technology, ensuring our customers the most pleasant movie experience. The sound is broadcasted over AM/FM stereo, either from your car radio or any portable stereo you wish to bring. The drive-in field is covered with grass, so feel free to bring Frisbees, balls, etc." Directions from Tri-Boro Cinemas: - Take Route 146 North to the Route 16 East (Uxbridge/Douglas) Exit. - Follow Route 16 traveling East into Mendon. - Drive-in will be on the right.  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 06-30-2005 04:56 PM                     Wow Paul, you're still around!!! It's been quite a while since I've seen you here. Thanks for the directions, maybe I'll try them out next.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-30-2005 07:31 PM                        How in the world is a drive-in being allowed to "stack" War of the Worlds and Herbie Fully Loaded with other movies during their opening week? Or is this a special thing that can only be done by drive-ins? If we ever tried to stack a movie during opening week we'd have our nuts cut off, along with our service.  |  IP: Logged Brad Allen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 688 From: Evansville, IN, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 06-30-2005 08:30 PM                     Drive-ins can do pretty much what they want.  |  IP: Logged Paul Goulet Master Film Handler Posts: 347 From: Rhode Island Registered: Jan 2000 posted 07-06-2005 10:52 AM                        Wow Paul, you're still around!!! It's been quite a while since I've seen you here Hi Rachel, I still stop in to rant and rave occasionally! Also, When you are going to Rustic or Mendon Drive-In and you are driving on Route 295 North or South and you are going by mile marker 23, BEEP your horn because I'll probably be sitting in my Yard by the pool!! And I meant to tell you before, Route 122 south (which is off of Route 295) has a Bird store with all Birds and supplies if you are looking for a place to get food and stuff. It is about a mile or two south of the highway Paul  |  IP: Logged
