Indiana Drive-In Theaters Offer Outdoor Theater Experience, Nostalgia

By admin on June 18, 2012

Anyone who is of a certain age certainly remembers drive-in theaters. Sit in your car, under the stars, with tinny speakers hanging from your window, munching on theater popcorn and nibbling on your date’s ear.

While drive-ins are being replaced by air conditioned theaters with comfortable seats and Dolby THX 7:1 Surround Sound, there’s still something about the nostalgia of the drive-in. There are still a few drive-in theaters around Indiana, and I’ve even been to a few of them. (I remember the Ski Hi Drive-In in Muncie when I was a boy.)
