COVID-19 continues to affect our ability to safely socialize. Do you miss leaving the house to see a movie on the big screen and getting elbow-deep in a large popcorn? Consider a solution that’s been hiding just under your nose!
One of the greatest inventions of the 20th century, the drive-in movie theater, is currently seeing a resurgence. Arkansas maintains three active drive-in theaters, but a new theater has emerged in Little Rock. All four are embracing our new normal by hosting special events.
Get out and see a movie! You’ll be safely partitioned in your car while also getting to enjoy a sense of community with others in the lot.
