“What could it be?” you ask. Nothing other than the drive-in theatre. This glamorous form of outdoor entertainment seems to have disappeared off the face off the earth. No one is quite sure why; the mystery is one that remains unsolved. But if one thing is for certain the first person to open one will surely be greeted by a herd of enthusiastic green N-clad cars.
