THOSE DRIVE-IN DAYS!


      A lady that I helped out yesterday apologized for all the stuff in the rear area. Her family had just gone to Newton the night before to the Valle Drive-In. If you live in Central Iowa and want to experience a fond memory of the past, it is worth the time. I did it a few years back and was a lot of fun.

       There aren't that many left in the state of Iowa. There was a time when there were at least five or more in the greater Des Moines area alone. There were three on East 14th Street alone. And, this was in the 1970's and early 1980's. As a teenager my drive-in memories go back to the one on the northwest corner of highway 14 and old 30 in Marshalltown, Iowa. That goes back to the 1950's and 1960's! Just thought that this might bring back some fuzzy memories of your own.
