At the peak of the drive-in theater craze in 1958, more than 4000 drive-ins were operating in the U.S. Today that number is closer to 300.
In this nostalgic minisode, we celebrate the phenomenon of drive-ins, highlighting two that hold special meaning for us, the Sauerbeck Family Drive-In located in LaGrange, Kentucky, and the Georgetown Drive-In, located in Georgetown, Indiana.
So grab your popcorn and join us as we discuss the story behind the very first drive-in, our experiences with these two local theaters, and our thoughts about the appeal of drive-ins.
