 JH> My local theatre is back open & received an email saying all movies are
 JH> only $5.  I jumped on to see what was playing and was surprised by the
 JH> line up.

There's a lot of cities who would have Friday/Saturday night movies in the
park for free or a small fee like this. Twin Falls, ID would do this downtown
at the city park about once or so a month years ago.

 JH> I notice our local drive in also is playing some classics:

They also used to have two drive-in's until they sold the land because it
would've cost more to upgrade their projectors to digital format (especially
just running them from May to October). 

 JH> I don't mind drive ins, but I wouldn't be able to make it through 2 whole
 JH> movies let alone 3.

Used to take my hatchback...fold down the rear seats & lay down in the back
where I could stretch out. Would back up the car & watch out of the big back
window. Plus...if you had "company"...didn't need a heater to keep the inside
warm. Would take my own food/drinks & have a foam pad for comfort with
sleeping bags. When I had an F-150...would take lawn chairs & such in the
back. If it rained...always kept a tarp...so would stay warm. 

Loved the drive-in! Too bad the land is more valuable for condo's...rather
than being a way to get out of the house...stay safe in the confines of your
vehicle.

BTW...ordered a 120 in 6x9 projection screen which just came in today. With
my projector...no more glowing screen.
