Norma's Homemade Banana Bar

May 2022 Prompt #7

Prompt - Take a drive down memory lane and arrive at the Drive-In Theater. (circa ????)
Tell us about your first experience attending a Drive-in movie. Be as descriptive as your memory allows.

Gosh, this is going way back in the time machine. I grew up in NE Ohio. We would go sometimes to a drive-in movie in Ashtabula, Ohio, about 10 miles from where we lived.

The summers in that part of the world are hot and humid. Ashtabula is right on Lake Erie. And if I remember right, this place was not too far from the shore.

I don't remember the name of the theater. But I do remember driving in, hooking up those metal speakers on the window. My father had rigged up some kind of platform for our old station wagon, it extended the seat so we could lie down. So of course we fell asleep during the movie. Then got carried into the house when we got home.

I don't even remember any movies we saw, if we got refreshments, just that we went.
