5. No, it's Leon's. Been there since 1947, and looks it.
And it hasn't reproduced- I'm pretty sure it's the only one.

11. you do?!?!
that is so cool.

12. ours is hit and miss
sometimes it's all kid movies and sometimes it's not. the biggest reason i don't go is that the movies that have come out in the last few years have, one the whole, been crap and i have better things to spend my money on.

one of my earliest memories is of my cousin taking me to the drive-in here in town...don't mind me as i wander down memory lane
