There was a time when folks in Spokane had seven drive-ins to chose from. Today, if they feel like a movie under the stars, they have to go to nearby Coleville. Auto Vue Drive-in in Coleville, WA, was opened in 1953 by the Wisner family and they are still going strong. The Auto Vue is open from Friday to Wednesday between April and September in a dry, flat field surrounded by the magnificent Colville National Forest. The field can accommodate 220 cars and trucks, and in the tradition of old drive-ins it quickly gets filled with lawn furniture and backed-up pickup trucks full of kids. The old speakers mounted on the poles have been removed and now the movie-goers listen to the sound through the FM radio in their cars. There is a small snack bar with popcorn and pizzas.
