Registered: Dec 1999 posted 05-04-2007 01:02 AM                     May the 4th be with you.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 05-04-2007 04:10 AM                        I can't wait for tomorrow. It is a holiday for the largest segment of the United State's population. It is called "Cinco de Mayo".  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

I had a look at their website...the FAQ (or as they call it FAA) could use a few suggestions from a spell / composition check. Spidey only on one screen...well that one will be full anyway.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-05-2007 10:27 AM                        I enjoyed this part of the Can View Drive-In's concession menu: quote: CanView Drive-In Confections: -Deep Woods Off -Asprins -Pic Coils -Pickles - Dill  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

Ready for Cinco De Mayo! Start the grill! If the huge liquor store nearby had some Sol Beer I would have bought at least a six pack of that.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

Looks like a well thought out lot. Was it built as a four screen from the beginning? It's owned by some friends of mine. I don't work there but I maintain their booth. It's about a 3.5 hour drive from where I live. It was designed as a four screen. If I remember correctly it opened with 2 screens, with the additional 2 screens following a season or two later. quote: John Wilson I had a look at their website...the FAQ (or as they call it FAA) could use a few suggestions from a spell / composition check. Yeah, the site is a joke. I have a feeling it may change soon. My favourite though is the copyright slug, "Can View Drive-In Theatres Reserve the right!" quote: John Wilson Spidey only on one screen...well that one will be full anyway. Up to ~550 cars at 2-4(-6) people per car, I don't think they'll do too bad.  |  IP: Logged James Westbrook Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1133 From: Lubbock, Texas, Usa Registered: Mar 2006 posted 05-06-2007 04:23 PM                     I didn't realize the Pic coils were still available. I thought that product left the shelves in the 80's.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 05-07-2007 12:06 AM                     Maybe they just call them Pic for nostalgia? Mosquito coils are still available though...their 'exclusive' aluminum foil tray makes sure not an ash goes on the dash.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

They make a nice afternoon snack.  |  IP: Logged
