You don't have to be a character on "The Happy Days" in the 50s to enjoy this nostalgic and serene venue.

No, they are a great place for families, lovers, friends and people in search of a relaxing, wholesome and entertaining evening!

With my local drive-in, Starlight Drive-In, struggling to stay afloat in the past, it's amazing that it's now starting to get its footing.

Initially, you arrive at the drive in with time to spare. This is because you have to wait for the sun to go down to actually view a movie. This forces you to find ways to pass the time together with the people you came with.

Because it's literally in an open field, kids are playing, people are laughing, people bring their dogs, it's like a temporary camping evening. It's so blissful and calm but exciting in the time before the movie. It's like they say, "it's not the destination, it's getting there."

Then, as weather permits, you watch two movies for a very reasonable price. You're outside and watching a movie, how cool! So many people have never been to a drive-in today. I say, go try something new, go to your local drive-in!
