No more drive-in theaters?

There's an interesting, if possibly sad, article out right now at the BBC site, pointing out that the drive-in movie theater may be all but dead. At the height of the drive-in's popularity--way back in 1958--we peaked at 4,063 of the buggers. Yowza. Now? We have a total of 374 sites in the US with 618 screens. Big drop, for sure. With the next shift coming of going digital, it will require approximately $112,000 per projector and housing to make the switch. The conclusion I come to, folks? If you enjoy a drive-in theater, you'd better get to it next Summer. (Pass the popcorn, will you?) Link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-15930813
