Mission Tiki Drive In Theatre

Down where we live in San Diego there are only 2 Drive-in
theatres. They both (Santee
Drive-in and Chula Vista Drive-in) are run down and lack
spirit and theme, just a bunch of potholes. We go there
anyway load up the truck, argue about space, bring our own food and
watch 5 hours of movies and hope no one is on a first date next to us
(but we sure saved money rather than going to the theatre).
The great thing about the Drive-in
is that you remember,
it was an experience. My friend told me about a
Tiki Drive-in located in Montclair,
California. Drive-ins started in 1932 with the
purpose of creating an experience the whole family can enjoy
together. They were popular and grew from 100 to 4000, then
started to decline because too many couples were doing the naughty and
real estate made the Drive-in parking lot a waste of money, most have
Swap Meets to stay alive. The Mission Tiki Drive-in opened in
1956, they use ticket huts, they have a Moai tiki
statue garden, tiki themed concession stand and a variety
food. If your in the Montclair area with your family, check
out Mission
Tiki Theatre for a night to remember.
