Saturday Night Retro: Drive-Ins, Jukeboxes, Cigarette Vending Machines.

Yeah, I'm still on the upright side of the grass snow. Just taking a break from daily  grind updating on news, current events and the political circus. Is Hillary Speaker of The House, now? I think I heard CNN report that.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Stay safe, healthy, warm, have some fun. And Pray. It should be at the top of your list.

Anyway, onto tonight's Saturday Night Retro Edition.

A lot of these are before my time, but I do remember some of the cigarette vending machines and Jukeboxes of the 1970s; and Drive-Ins.

Do you recognize any of these or ever used them? Drop a comment.

25 and 35 ₵ per pack? What YEAR was this?

Drive-In Movie Theaters see surge in business amid coronavirus.


Drive-in theaters across the US are seeing a surge in customers as Americans weigh their now-limited entertainment options amid the coronavirus outbreak.

Owners of drive-in theaters in California, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri told the Los Angeles Times that they had seen a rise in ticket sales as other public spaces like bars and restaurants were ordered closed to encourage social distancing.

The theaters offer an interesting alternative to staying home while staying safe, though areas like concession stands and public bathrooms could still pose a risk for spreading infection by contact.

The Showboat Drive-In Theater in Hockley, Texas, about a 30-minute drive outside Houston, normally sees ticket sales go down about 40% on a weekend when they don't have any new movies. Last weekend, they saw a 40% increase, says the theater's owner, Andrew Thomas.
Axios: Drive-in theaters report uptick in business amid coronavirus.
Nobody is near us, and we can actually enjoy the movie without feeling that paranoia where something like somebody coughing would have us instantly move,” Christian Singleton, who brought his 2-year-old daughter and 4-year-old son to the California Paramount Drive-In on Tuesday, told the Times.

New York currently has the most drive-in screens in the country at 49 — while Pennsylvania has 45 and California and Ohio each have 44 screens, according to the United Drive-In Theatre Owners Association.
