    There was a drive in theater, it wasn't in JAX, I'm not sure now, where it was.... anyway, it's where I saw the very first Star Wars movie and, Grease.... I remember the hot summer nights and the sound of the Cicadas.

    The first time I saw a Piggly Wiggly store, I thought it was so funny.
    Piggly Wiggly was the first self service grocery store in America. Memphis 1916. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piggly_Wiggly


    I had an ex wife I called "Fuggly Wuggly"

    It was in Sherwood outside of North Little Rock. "Twin city drive in". Burned down in the early 90's

    I miss the drive in theaters. Just think. In todays world you could get beaten and robbed from the comfort of your own car all while enjoying a popcorn and soda.

    Yes. Dont remember if it was arson via teenage pranks or an insurance scam. There was asbestos cleanup involved so probably an insurance scam.
