Can we bring back drive in movie theaters? PLEASE!?!

Drive-In Theaters Were a Lifesaver During the Pandemic

A Safe Way to Escape When the World Shut Down

At the time, we were living in Pennsylvania. My home in the Pocono mountains was essentially right across the street from New York State. The people from NYC who had bought summer homes in our community came in droves to PA.

The Return of the Drive-In Experience

What My Sister and I Learned from Those Movie Nights

I was just wrapping up my Bachelor's at Syracuse University and my sister was a junior in high school at the time. There wasn't much we could mutually agree on, but we both loved going to the movies, so we made a few trips out to the nearest drive-in theater.

Experiences like the drive-in had sort of a comeback in 2020.

Pet Policy at the Holiday Twin in Fort Collins

In accordance with the business's pet policy, you MUST pick up after your dog and clean up bags are even provided at every screen.

Also, when your dog is outside of your vehicle, they must be on a leash and kept close to you at all times. This means that you should probably rethink that extendable leash when you head out.
