Last Picture Show

I just got around to reading yesterday's newspaper and I just found out that the Memphis Drive In Theatre is closing. All I could think of was "Damn, that really sucks." Mind you I have not been to the Drive-In in years, but that place plays an integral part of my childhood. I spent many summer nights there with my family. We would get there early and I would be in my pajamas as my Mom took me to the little playground where I would run around like a little maniac before the movie started in my little Winnie the Pooh footie jammies. We'd make a quick pit stop at the concession area and I would go to the bathroom before heading back to the car where my brother would torment me trough the previews then I would promptly fall asleep when the actual movie started.
On Saturday mornings I would accompany my parents to the giagantic flea market that gets held there every weekend. We would spend the whole afternoon rooting around through the various stalls looking for who knows what. I always loved the used book seller. I would usually be allowed to get four or five books for a buck, always a great find.
Now progress is on the way and it royally sucks. I have one summer left to get my butt to the Drive-In before they rip it up and put in some God aweful big box piece of crap. So D. we have to get there before they rip it up.
