Mustang Drive-In Theatre (Canada - Sept. 2013)

[jerm IX]

My first visit to the Mustang Drive-In Theatre in Cavan, Ontario, was as a young teenager in the early 1990s. I couldn't tell you the name of a single movie that played on that or any subsequent visit, as I was always much more focused on the particular female in my company.

Girls, drugs and crime. Sounds like a movie tag-line, but those were my only interests during that dangerous downward spiral period of my life between the ages of twelve and sixteen. My memories are hazy, but some good times were definitely had here.

In late August of 2011, when Ninj and I pulled up in front of the Drive-In, I was a very different person with a very different tag-line.

The story continues here...

Thanks man, I guess the drive-in is a North American thing, do they exist at all in Europe?

I wouldn't say they don't exist, I'm sure there are one or two novelty ones around somewhere. But they're certainly not a thing like they are in the US, I've not ever come across one anywhere near where I am in the UK, it rains too much!

Excellent... some great composition on those shots, really nicely done.

Memories.
Still remember Dad taking me to see Jungle Book in the late 60's playing at the Mustang.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the kind words. This place has already been ransacked and vandalized by local youth.

 

[Slammer]

That is amazing, it beacons and calls to explore, the pictures are really atmospheric. great work.

Wow, fantastic. There's one or two near me, but they are very seasonal and are very expensive... more a one off thing to do for an experience than anything else.
Brilliant photos.
