A Blast from the Past

If you take a drive to 6930 S. Western Avenue right here in Oklahoma City at or around 7:30pm, you will truly have a déjà vu moment.   You will find cresting in the western skyline a real deal drive-in theater that is still in business and still operating daily.  It’s the Winchester Drive-in!  The Winchester Drive-in was built and is still owned by the Shanbour Family. It has been in business and has remained in that same location since 1968.  The Winchester Drive-in has survived a dying breed.  There were at one time 95 drive-in theaters in the state of Oklahoma; but now only seven remain in operation in the state. Oklahoma City is down to just this one drive-in theater.  This drive-in still caters to the drive-in nostalgia of old to include the speakers for the cars, popcorn, soft drinks, hotdogs, and hamburgers to name only a few.  Showing this week:  ‘Imagine That’ starring Eddie Murphy; ‘The Taking of Pelham 123’ starring Denzel Washington and John Travolta; and ‘Drag Me To Hell’ staring Alison Lohman. Doors open at 7:30pm. Admission:  $6-Adults; $3-Children ages 3-10; ages 2 and under – Free.  For the baby-boomers, this drive-in could be a walk down memory lane with your favorite beau or lady.  For today’s generation, it could be the making of new memories, a true find to share with the special someone in your life.  Just think about cuddling and hugging up in the back-seat of your chevy watching your favorite movie; hmmmmmm….it could be fun!  Check out a ‘True Find’ right in our backdoor – ‘The Winchester Drive-in’. Information on this theater is available online at the following link: http://www.winchesterdrive-in.com/movies.htm

Terminator Salvation

Set in post-apocalyptic 2018, John Connor is the man fated to lead the human resistance against Skynet and its army of Terminators. But the future Connor was raised to believe in is altered in part by the appearance of Marcus Wright, a stranger whose last memory is of being on death row. Connor must decide whether Marcus has been sent from the future, or rescued from the past. As Skynet prepares its final onslaught, Connor and Marcus both embark on an odyssey that takes them into the heart of Skynet’s operations, where they uncover the terrible secret behind the possible annihilation of mankind.
