Politics, Culture, and Other Wastes of Time

While we have often promoted the Eden Drive-In in Eden, NC, on this blog, we don't mention the Hull's Drive-In off Route 11 in Lexington, Va.
I have actually never been there, but my friend Blake Lipscomb from Roanoke used to make the 50-miles hike up the road to see films there all the time.
One time he witnessed a print of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" blowing up on screen there, and he said it was one of most amazing things he had ever seen.
This week, Hull's is offering a Memorial Day discount to military personnel (I wonder if you get credit if you served in the Canadian armed forces).
And, they are showing "Vantage Point," which somehow escaped me, coupled with "Nim's Island," which somehow didn't.
Gates open at 6:30 and the films start around 8:45 p.m.
Hull's also offers the following items on their menu:

Hamburger $2.85
Cheeseburger $3.25
Corn Dog $2.25
Sno-Cone $1.00

  It was good to see a note about Hull's here.  I understand there are only 7 or 8 Virginia drive ins left out of about 150 around 1960.   This one is in some kind of time warp.  Its still pretty well packed out many nights and playing 50s music before shows.  They have FM but all their old 50s car window speakers are still being used.  They are pretty careful to keep to movies you can take the family to and they keep getting a good number of films for the little ones, too.
  
  I went once last year and have been intending to get there again this summer (2008) a few times.
