Why did they go away? I NEVER have been to a drive in that wasn't full.
And obviously they were part of cultural times. Look how many movies had drive in movie scenes.

The land became too valuable here so they were bought up and the land developed. Plus, the cities expanded into the country boundaries so that they couldn't remain. We loved the drive-ins. You could dress the little guys in pj's, let them sit on the hood of the car and munch chips. Cheap for a tight budget, too. No baby sitters either. ~sigh~

They didn't go away here --- Sonics are very popular.
