Although it is difficult to believe now, there was once a drive-in movie theater on Route 4 in Paramus on the edge of what is now the Westfield Garden State Plaza. It entertained New Jerseyans on steamy summer nights from at least the late thirties until the 1980s. There's only a parking lot there now, but many locals have fond memories of watching cheesy horror films and sweet musicals there. That, of course, after stuffing their slimmest friends into big, American car trunks to get the most bang out of the drive-in's pay per carload price.
