Writing this post definitely brought me back to when we use to have a drive in movie theatre in North Edmonton. It really wasn’t that long ago.. Friday nights spent bundled up with snacks and watching one of the double features. (I saw The Craft when it came out at the drive in).
And really, who doesn’t love going to an outdoor movie? (Especially if it’s free? Which a lot are) With the exception of the Reynolds Museum held indoors all of these movies are drive in style, or you can bring a chair or blanket and literally watch a movie underneath the stars. These are great ideas for family nights, date nights, or nights out with friends. Regardless it’s just another awesome thing to do during the summer!
