I dont really like drive in movies, though. I get way too many mesquito bites cuz I am barely ever allowed to sit in the car and watch a movie.

Bring some bug spray next time


The Ford Wyoming Drive In [ The last drive in theatre in Metro Detroit] doesn't have problems with bugs; [ at least when I go there]


But I guess some drive ins out in wooded areas or in the country might have problems with insects

That Sucks!


But Drive Ins are cool


Only about 500 left in the United States

Including 11 in Michigan

Back in the 1950's there were nearly 5,000


As late as 1985; There were over 2,500

Well, I do prefer the cinema better. More movies to choose from, and at the drive in Im normally stuck with one ok/good movie and one shitty on.

Problem is most of the indoor movies I went to as a teen are gone or shut down

The Wyandotte is gone

The Quo Vadis is gone

The Showboat is gone

The Dearborn Showcase is closed

The Ford Tel is closed


Even the Lincoln Park Star 8 is no longer in business

Fucking Sucks!

I went to the Qua Vadis all the time, growing up. Same with Wayne Theater, Wayne Drive in (4 screens!)

For a list of theaters and drive ins that are gone, or still in operation check the site:

Indoor theaters: http://www.waterwinterwonderland.com/moviehouse.asp

Drive-ins: http://www.waterwinterwonderland.com/drivein.asp

Amusement Parks of Michigan: http://www.waterwinterwonderland.com/amusement.asp

There is an index at the top right of the screen that has all kinds of listings. When you select a theater or drive-in, it will tell you about it and show pictures if people have uploaded them.

I will make a thread with these links.

I like the Allen Park Theatre


It is owned by MJR

But is a second run movie house


It has 5 screens


It was once owned by Nicolas George



He once owned several movie houses and Drive Ins; including the old Fort George Drive In [ where stupid Meijer store is now] in Southgate
