There was one in Wichita that showed porn and it was partially visible to Kellog traffic and caused a lot of accidents.
Kid, now a doctor, was known to watch movies from one of few remaining drive-in theaters....from outside. They'd chip in for one entrance who would use walkie-talkie to "broadcast" sound outside to adjacent parking lot with a speaker in car where all others would watch movie, down brews, charm the girls with daring "hold my brew, watch this" escapades.When I was a kid in Claremore, my dad worked at a Phillips 66/Howard Johnson travel plaza on the Will Rogers turnpike. There was a drive in right next door.
Dad usually worked 3-11, so on Friday nights we would go visit him. You could see the movie from the south end of the parking lot, but you couldn't hear it.
Howard Johnsons also had the best coffee, chocolate ice cream and brownies I ever had.
Yep, the Teepee Drive-In at Dewey (Route 66) and Taft reopened in 2023. Every time I drive by there I think I need to go see a movie there, but I never remember when I have the time to actually go to a movie...I drove to Sapulpa last week,,,
It looks like that old drive-in is back in operation.
