Redland Drive-In Theater — Image by kenne
Located just north of Lufkin, Texas on HWY 59, this old drive-in theater has been closed since the early 1990’s. It’s been said that it ended its theater days showing XXX movies.
I took this photo November 13, 2001 with my first digital camera, Olympus E-10, which I still have in my camera collection.

Drive-In
The daylight turns to darkness,
as the light sets on the screen,
The cinematic fairy tale,
projects over the green,
The imitations evident,
as the crickets cry for love,
and a boy and girl sit nervously,
staring at the screen above,
The snack bar is filled with people,
popcorn, soda, and candy bars,
Three boys sit atop their parents car,
one stares up at the stars,
As their Mother smiles upon them,
She knows these days will come and go,
Their Father falls in love again,
as he watches her eyes glow,
And in this moment, Life is beautiful,
It’s virtuous and rare,
and the movie on the screen,
is not the reason people care,
It’s the time we spend together,
It’s the words we never say,
It’s the light we drive-in to the world
on the darkest time of day.
