Woodwardtold council at the time that he had met with the operators of the drive-in, who explained 16.8 per cent of their customer base is local, with the rest, more than 80 per cent coming from outside Aldergrove and Langley, making the theatre a destination that draws people from as far away as Vancouver Island.

According to the driveinmovie.com website, the Aldergrove theatre is one of only three surviving drive-ins in the entire province, with the others being the Starlight in Enderby, and the Park in Prince George.

Daulat, who has been in the drive-in movie business since 1969, first operating Hillcrest Drive-In in Cloverdale, until it closed Sept. 28, 2003 and was subsequently razed to make way for residential development.

Twilight Drive-In has had a number of issues at the Aldergrove location, first facing the threat of taxation based on individual parking spaces, then when COVID hit, they were forced to shut down the concession and limited to 50 cars per showing.

The Twilight Drive-In was a local drive-in movie theater in Riverdale. It served as Jughead's place of employment, as well as his temporary home in the projection booth, until he was forced to take his belongings and move out as it was announced that the drive-in would soon be demolished after an anonymous buyer decided to buy the land.

The drive-in was later razed by Andrews Construction, and the land will soon be home to the SoDale project. While construction was halted due to several unforeseen events, such as Clifford Blossom buying out Fred Andrews' crew, and Hiram Lodge orchestrating attacks on the development land from prison, the SoDale project is back on track, while under the control of Fred, Hiram and Hermione.

The Twilight Drive-In is a drive-in movie theater in Fernfield. The Buddies headed through it on the way to save their parents, Buddy and Molly. The puppies end up getting in the way of the projector and head into the kitchen. Budderball ate the popcorn, B-Dawg ate the licorice, Mudbud ate the chips, Buddha ate the wieners, and Rosebud ate the cotton candy. Meanwhile, dognappers Denning and Grim search out for them, but get into trouble when they accidentally reveal what they were doing to some puppy-loving bikers, who tie them up to the projection screen, where the patrons throw all kinds of sticky and messy food at them.

We wanted to give all our fantastic drive-in fans lots of notice so that everyone would be able to enjoy the drive-in experience (and drive-in food!) as much as possible over the next two summers. We hope that you will spread the word about the only drive-in movie theatre, so that those who have never experienced a drive-in, may do so before the opportunity is gone forever. It is definitely something everyone should experience at least once in their life!

From the ashes of the Hillcrest in Surrey came the new Twilight drive-in in Langley. Owner Jay Daulat looked at 3 cities/townships before finding the right spot about 15 minutes east of the old location on Fraser Hwy. The drive-in opened September 2005.

It is a smaller field, about 100 cars less but it also has brand new facilites including washrooms with plenty of stalls. The same mix of asphalt lanes & grass ramps, although the grass has pretty much died in the front rows.

KIRO Newsradio reported last month that the Auto-Vue Drive-In and the Alpine Theatre in Colville were for sale as a package deal. It was learned Thursday that a purchase offer has been accepted, and the sale is scheduled to close late next month.

The Twilight Drive-In is unusual because it opened just 19 years ago in 2005. Reports are that the Twilight will close later this year, sometime after the peak summer season. KIRO Newsradio emailed and called drive-in management, but we have not yet heard back.

News for British Columbian drive-in fans might not be all bad. Some recent coverage in Vancouver, BC media suggests that while the Twilight may be doomed, the family who owns the business may be searching for a new location to open a successor to the Twilight.

After a decade of running our Rome at Dusk walk, we made the easy decision to offer more places to see under the stars with semi-private transport and time enough for a dreamy gelato beside a glittering fountain! There are simply so many places to cover on foot in Rome at any one time, especially in the evening, when the streets are less populous, so we selected a local expert driver-guide, a comfortable car with wifi/all mod cons, and a fantastic route through the heart of historic Rome!

"Everybody's aware of the discussions that have been occurring online," said Langley Mayor Woodward at a recent Township Council meeting during which he proposed that staff work with the Twilight property owners and operators to present options to Council for saving the business. "It really stands out as something we need to do for Aldergrove and all the people who have expressed how much they care about this as a part of Langley."

Woodward has reportedly already met with the Twilight owners to learn about the business and says that 16.8 per cent of the drive-in's customer base is from Langley-Aldergrove with the remaining 83.2 per cent hailing from the rest of the Lower Mainland and even Vancouver Island.

"The primary challenge is the value of the land on which the program is situated," he explained. Which is the reason the Twilight owners gave for closing up shop. In a Facebook announcement post, they alleged the closure is due to a 260 per cent increase in property taxes over the last three years. "With 72 per cent this year alone, our landlord has informed us that they will not be renewing our lease," reads the post.

"We're not in the business of running these sorts of operations so it's really the social and community value of the institution itself that we're trying to preserve," the staff member clarifies. "We're looking beyond the current horizons to see if there are other options."

No decisions will be made until staff reconvene with the council to present the options and there is no date set for that meeting but Mayor Woodward says that he believes the drive-in "merits some special consideration within the bounds of not setting a precedent of helping business--there's nothing we can do about property taxes," he said, adding, "hopefully, the only precedent it sets is that we care and we get things done."

There are plenty of examples of former drive-ins getting turned into Walmarts. (I can think of at least one in Colorado.) The Twilight is a rare (unique?) example of a former Walmart getting repurposed as a drive-in theater. Wisconsin Drive-In Theaters reported that it opened in August 2011, with a more formal Grand Opening the following May. The Twilight uses part of the former Walmart building for its the concession stand, and the parking lot is the new viewing field.

Nearby Restaurant: One of the advantages of a short drive is that it leaves me time to have lunch at a local coffee shop such as Terra Verde Coffee. Not only do they have the coffee and pastries I need on a daily basis, they had some nice sandwiches. I picked the Turk, a turkey sandwich with cranberry walnut relish. It was like Thanksgiving between two slices of bread!

This is one of their most ambitious events yet, and one that Lauren has been dreaming of long before we bought the drive-in! They are working on some fun surprises, including photo ops, preshow activities, local vendors, and more!

Gates open at 5 p.m. each night. The first feature begins at 7 p.m. with a 10-minute intermission between the movies. All features are rated PG13. The theater is open rain or shine. No refunds or transfers unless an event is cancelled.

The danger begins as soon as the sun starts to go up or down. Your eyes have to make adjustments to the changes in lighting. As your eyes adjust, your peripheral vision and depth perception will be affected. This makes it much more difficult to safely avoid obstacles and other vehicles on the road.

Traffic lights and headlights shine brightly at night, and while they serve an important purpose, they also make driving during the twilight hours dangerous. The combination of the dark sky and the bright lights create a glare that makes it difficult to see.

While you cannot avoid this issue completely, you can lessen the risk by keeping your windshield and headlights clean. Even the smallest bit of debris will make your visibility worse, so this is critical.
