The "Mother" of all drive-in sites! Developed by Tim Thompson. Contains history,
photographs, a national list of current drive-ins, a celebration of DI food, old
advertisements, interesting articles, and--something you'll definitely want to check
out--links to more than 15 individual drive-in theater sites across the country (and some
international ones, too). All of these links aren't listed here individually, so check the
site and explore them on your own!

ads. And you can also get the Snack Stand, too!:
