Drive-In Toss

Two boys have a family football toss while waiting for dark at the Fort Union Drive-In Theater in Las Vegas, New Mexico. The mural is new!

    I love the feeling you captured of this as a great place to hang out and catch a few passes in a safe and wide open environment before it gets dark and the movie begins.

    An amazing photo!
    We don't have drive ins in the UK, and I never saw a shot of one in daylight before. (Usually see after dark clips in movies)
    That screen is huge!
    Good to see they have an alternative use in the daytime.

    Yes, Ilona, they do have a some use in the early evening before it gets dark. It's sort of like a picnic for families. Everyone shows up early and camps out by their car with food and conversation.
