Drive-In-Movie
www.driveinmovie.com
Drive-ins provide a romantic and nostalgic alternative under the stars; have the largest movie screens; snackbar menus (in contrast to over-priced lobby candy and soda); usually- two, sometimes three movies for the cost of 1 admission…which certainly providing a greater value for your dollar. Yet, Drive-ins offer an experience and an opportunity for us that is more than merely seeing a MOVIE on the BIG screen. It’s about seeing the larger picture-choosing the Drive-in as your opportunity to support a fragile Mom&Pop tradition; to celebrate and to help preserve the presence of the past.
