These are starting to make me feel REALLY old and sad. Nothing was better than having mom tell you to get your pajamas on when it was still light outside. You knew what that meant! You grabbed your pillow and a blanket and headed for the car. It was the most exciting wonderful thing in the world! Although I have to admit that Walt Disney's Pollyanna was the only movie I ever saw at the drive in all the way through. Usually we were asleep about 15-20 minutes into the film.

Camping is the best thing a homeless person can do rather then sleep on the sidewalks. It's easier to end up in that situation then some might think and also so many different reasons why. Rarely is it that they choose not to work. Society chews you up and spits you out once you don't appear to have any "value"

So true!! Just 2 paycheckecks away is where a lot of Americans stand from being homeless. Have you seen the " social experiment" of the homeless veteran ( who was actually homeless) and the young. homeless teenage boy ( who wasn't really homeless)? People passed the two all day long. Most people gave to the boy and very few to the veteran. At the end of the video, the boy's older brothers come out and talk to the veteran and reveal to him that the boy is their brother and isn't really homeless. That it was a social experiment to show the stigmatism against veterans. They then give the veteran the money that the boy had purposefully collected for him. There were many tears shead. Makes a person stop and think!!

I'm by no means judging them for being homeless or for living in tents. Heck, I'd rather sleep there than on a street. The only concern i had is that its technically their "home" now. Most people protect and defend their home from strangers. I just didnt want to surprise them if they were armed or maybe high on drugs, especially since i was alone.

I lived in my car in Pittsburg in the middle of winter and then the cops towed it because the tags went out so I was then on the street. I have worked under the table at bars too and just secretly slept inside after closing. Definitly exhausting and enough to make someone go insane...it's like there is never any down time.

Anyways, my Brother in-law and myself are explorers; we’ll be in Ocean City all of next week and we’d love to check out some of these places. We have done quite a bit of research. But I don’t believe we have this one on our list. My email address is kristenmichele@aol.com. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much and great vid!

That trip through the woods was definitely suspenseful! I thought it was great to find the place so overgrown after 40 years. To think that was once an open field.

This is incredible - when I was a kid back in the 1970's and living with my parents in CT we'd drive down to Ocean City every two years to visit family who lived in Salisbury. I very vaguely recall seeing the drive-in off RT 50. Pretty amazing the screen is still up. Thank you sooo much for sharing this!

This video was awesome! Creepy on the one hand and a longing for drive in movies to return on the other. Times were simpler even though the 50's were before my time. Nice touch with the vintage commercials. I loved this video. Thank You!

You know for a walk in the woods the normal person would never have known this was a drive-in. It's amazing how the Earth overtakes things if I'm checked in 40 years. It's sad to see that people have to live outside in tents. I can completely understand about making no contact. At least they're putting the property to use for loving at this time.

JP what a excellent find. Can't believe that theater screen would be still standing, definetly very well build in its day and was meant to last. You did a good job finding it in the dense woods. Man those trees grow all over the place. My hat goes off to you to find anything in the woods. Great job. Yes I would be causious of those tents, don't know what kind of people they are. Be careful.

As always Jay, I love your videos of abandoned places. Boring...NEVER!!!! The colour of the paint (Light Teal) was definitely a 50's colour. It's not always what you film, but I remember going to the drive-ins whenever I was a teenager. Just seeing those buildings sent me back to great memories. Is kinda creepy to walk upon someone's campsite, homeless or not, I personally would feel like I was walking into someone's house without knocking.... and finding a handicap potty chair out in the woods... Eeewwww... but I guess if that's the best that someone has or the best they can do... it is what it is... in a house or woods I guess. But the flooding of memories of the yellow concession lights (they limit the attraction of bugs), the real walls, the chest freezer where they kept ice cream novelties, the smell of burgers, fries and hot dogs.... all came rushing into my mind. Thank you for taking me down memory lane. ❤✌🏼❤

Second time watching this. It is so eerie. I remember going to the Drive-In when I was a kid in Western PA, then husband got stationed in Norfolk and we had them there and in VA Bch when we moved there. They closed in the 70's. Now live in Chester,VA and there is a homeless camp behind the Target store. You can see it on Google Map. No one bothers them and there was a write up on one man who goes to visit them and take them supplies.

Awesome job. I loved it. Thank you 👍😎

Very cool explore, thanks for sharing! As a lifetime Maryland resident I've driven past this on numerous occasions throughout the years. I found an article with photos from (I think- it was a bit vague as it also mentioned the late '80's) 2000 & possibly 2008.

So remember drive-ins as a kid.Used to go to them often.Went to one in near Cape Canerveral Fla.They sold coil like insect repellor things you would set outside your car and light.Later days would go to a drive-in near Vermillion,SD during mine and my brothers college days-so remember watching James Bond movies there all night-was CHEAP entertainment in those days.And would eat hot dogs,popcorn and soda.And the concession counters at theaters in those days were candy stores that had just about any candy you would want-Jaw Breakers,Cinnamin balls,NECCOS,Life savers,Smarties.Don't see those in theaters anymore-so now I watch movies at home.Some feel the VCR as the first home movie format killed off the drive-ins.You could rent the tapes from Blockbuster and watch at home-you could pause the moive to go to the bathroom or go to the kitchen to get something to eat-no pause buttons at drive-ins or hardtop theaters!

The first movie there was "Hondo" with John Wayne in 1954...In the late 1960's it was mainly Elvis Prestly movies - like "That's The Way it Is" etc.. I think it closed down in 1978 though - The last movie shown was some Disco movie. Sun and Surf in north OC stole a lot of customers by then - It's even closed now and slated to be torn down ironically. End of a era.

Wow, pretty cool I'm just picturing some station wagons and people with family watching a movies under the stars and skies. Those were great times. Can you imagine if grease played their ? How cool would that be ? Great find. That was scarey seeing campers their and you were alone. You never know. They could be hiding or just other reason. But, your safe. Thats all that matters. Ooh, and the screen. Omg, that was huge. Lol Thank you for a great find 😊👍

Yes Jenn , that was the exact one we had. Mom would pop a bunch of popcorn and put it in a large brown grocery bag, grab some cups, pitcher, package of kool aid , sugar , and off we'd go!

I agree. I love finding places like this.

Right in front of you around 3:29 (and again around 4:03 on the left side of the screen ) I see what looks like a rusty metal pole, which may well have been one of the speaker poles you mentioned at the outset of the video. I saw what looked like a bunch of other ones not too long after the video started.

Ravenna, Ohio still has a drive in. It is a shame to see abandoned homes, businesses, etc. left to decay.

Loved it,the remnants of the past looks like the homeless have made it their new home ,and really I'd rather see them there camped out then panhandling on the streets
