I've been to the new drive in they built in Aldergrove and its actually quite nice. I think the owners were the ones that owned the Hillcrest in Cloverdale before they sold it and tore it down to put in a strip mall and town houses

. I remember when they used to do a classic car cruise in with classic films the night before the Langley cruise in car show.

Ah how the time flies by.

Been a long time since I was to hillcrest.. my first experience there was Star Wars in '77! I think the last time I was there was for Jurasic Park.

I moved from BC over 10yrs ago now.. I didn't even know the hill was gone.

But keep you eyes open folks.. I think we might see a comeback of the local drive in. I know I had a client who was thinking about one near here a couple years ago.

Wow...now this could date some of us. I couldnt say what the first drive in movie I watched was....but it was black and white for sure. As a teen I am sure we didnt watch any movies but we were there every Friday night. The party, fights, drinking, wild women (ok...little girls) sneaking in.......all good memories.

Ah, Clint Eastwood and the drive-in....a dream night out.

I remember the girls hid in the trunk...

i think another reason that they are gone is they did not want everyone too be idleing your cars for 2 hours.

Man I miss the old drive-ins. Used to be a few of them in Calgary and when Starry and I (I am Mrs. Starry) started dating in '97 there was still one left. We went to it at least twice a week. Could pick up supper on the way, and have dinner and a couple of movies for pretty cheap. Could do lots of cuddling in the car too!

Day Light savings killed the drive throughs here, when you cant start the first movie till 11:00 not many people will go.
