I love the Drive-in! A classic family or couples friendly inexpensive evening of entertainment. Excellent popped corn! On Sundays they have one of THE BEST swap meets ever. It is the famous Rose Bowl and Pasadena City College swap meets 30 years ago. An absolute hidden gem from cheap antiques and collectable to home made tamales. Shshshsh!
