Drive-In Theaters Still Alive in Tennessee
There was a time when hamburgers were 25 cents, hot dogs were 15 cents and movie tickets cost just 50 cents.
Drive-in theaters became an American phenomenon in the 1940s and 1950s, but eventually this entertainment avenue began to fade. Fortunately, there are still 17 drive-ins operating in Tennessee.
Two are in Memphis while others are in Athens, Bristol, Centerville, Dickson, Dunlap, Elizabethton, Estill Springs, Harriman, Lafayette, Lewisburg, Maryville, Sparta, Watertown, Waverly and Woodbury. Many of the drive-ins are open from March to October.
