    Yeah, impressive from behind. Go around the front and see that tiny 13 inch hole and ... not so much.
    At least to the untrained eye.
    Course, it's a mortar not a cannon or a missile.

    Here's a question for you.

    When was the last time you went to a drive-in movie theatre?

    I believe mine was in 78 down in Florida.........interesting night, it was.

    Those prices look low to us now, but they weren't a bargain then due to wages being paid. Perspective is an equalizer.

    There’s one my wife’s hometown 30 minutes from here. Been there several times over the years. They show a double header at 1 price. The only thing different between now and as a kid is the sound is broadcast over a radio station so box for your window.

    that makes lot sense , think of miles of underground wiring those places use to have. last time i was at a drive in movie would have been prior to 1975. there are not any left that i remember in the Milwaukee, Waukesha WI county areas.
