Labor Day is the unofficial end of summer. Here’s an idea to add to your end-of-season traditions: the drive-in movie. Remember? The place with playground equipment under the big screen, the smell of popcorn on the breeze, and watching a movie under the night sky.
There are a few drive-ins remaining. Surprisingly, some are scattered across the listening area. Here’s a list from driveintheatre.com:
