Back Down Memory Lane ...


The other day I was riding down a major street in Cleveland and to my horror I saw a part of my young adulthood demolished. The Miles Drive In for decades provided the youth the joy of cinematic viewing and carnal pleasures. Well they have torn it down and planning to put a shopping center on the lot that I frequented when I was too young and broke to go to a motel.

I'm sure I'm not the only one that has memories of playing stink finger while watching a double feature horror flick.Back then I thought the directors of those movies placed the screams strategically to drown out the sounds of young lovers either having a great time or trying to figure out what they were doing. I promise you it took particular skill to get it on in a hatchback... but if you had the usage of a luxury sedan it was like being at the Hilton Suites.

Back then I had a 1977 Chrysler New Yorker
I shared with my mom during my school days .

My friends called it "The Love Boat."


My mom thought of it as her Holy Roller.
The worst thing about those times I used the car on friday and saturday doing the devil's work she used it on Sundays to go to church and Febreeze hadn't been invented.
I don't want all of you thinking that this is just a post about me reminiscing about the ghost of freak moments past... The Miles Drive In is where I first saw my fantasy do her thing ...
back in like 73' my mom and her girlfriend snuck my sister and I and Carol's 6 kids ( we were in the trunk of a cadillac.. thank GOD the trunk opened when we got passed the cashier !!!) to see Coffy...

wow, classic memories. before the state of north carolina begin to shut down the drive-ins, '83 -'85? (most were showing porno films) due to pornography laws, i was old enough to see a couple of films at the tower drive-in in rocky mount. couldn't score, (she was scared, too much light) but the finger-poppin' made it easier for later parking down a dark, uninhabited dirt road in the country.
