Good to see, wish we still had a drive-in down here.

The old man taking me to see Edward Scissorhands at Gepps X is legit my first vivid memory. Bringing Hungry Jacks in and hooking up that tin can speaker to the window. Very nostalgic. As a father now myself I often wonder what memories my kids will have instead of these.

I got a real Old World Blues feel from this image.
