SPEAKING OF GOING TO MOVIES
Posted: Mon Jul 18, 2011 3:06 pm
Hi Folks:
We've all been bashing texters, cell phone users and talkers, I thought it would be fun to post about a more positive experience I recently had at a dieing breed of movie theatre. A drive-in. Located in Gibson City Illinois, the Harvest Moon Theatre features two screens, each one screening a different movie. I haven't been to a drive-in since I was about 20, so I thought I would give it a try, and I never did it on a motorcycle before, so I packed up my old Sony Walkman (audio is done by fm broadcast instead of one of those old style speaker boxes) and headed off to Gibson.
The admission was 6 bucks for the ticket, and I paid about 2.75 for a small pop corn and a bottle of water. They even stopped the movie for a 10 minute intermission to give people a chance to use the rest room or buy a snack. I rented a chair, put the head phones on, and relaxed under the moon lie sky and watch "Transformers 3" while a light breeze blew on the engine of my bike and warmed me up.
It was a very nice time. People had blankets, played 'frizby' and many brought their own snacks (which I may do the next time I go).
So if any of you are located near, or at a reasonable distance from Gibson City Illinois (Ford County) the Harvest Moon Drive-In is located right on Route 47, across the street from Pizza Hut. You can google them, and they do have a web site, but I don't remember the URL>
