With Traditional Movie Theaters Closed, Drive-Ins Are Thriving

With the closing of traditional movie theaters due to the novel coronavirus outbreak, people are practicing social distancing at drive-ins.

I love Drive-Ins. When they started closing them in large numbers it seemed short sighted and foolish. There is something so American, and so mid-century, about them. But like most things, greed one the day, especially in places like Los Angeles. Not a single drive-in survives here. When I was a kid there were dozens. When I lived in San Diego, there were two, and now (I think) there is one. I hope that somehow this means that more of the theaters that made it into the 21st century will last longer and maybe even thrive.
