For drive-in devotees, there's nothing like movies under the stars
Jan and Dean blast through speakers, cars with tailfins dot the parking lot and hot dogs dance across the screen. Add the unmistakable smell of popcorn wafting across a field, and there's only one place on Earth this could be -- a drive-in movie theater. more >>

The Drive-In Theater is 75
When cars pulled up to watch the British comedy "Wives Beware" 75 years ago today in Camden, New Jersey, there was probably little thought that a new American way of life was being born. more >>
