Yesterday Breitbart<\/a> posted an article about the Pride\u2019s Corner drive-in movie theater in Westbrook, Maine. The theater reopened on Saturday for a showing of the 1939 movie “The Wizard of Oz.” The theater was sold out.<\/p>\n

The article cites a number of examples of creative ways people can stay entertained during the current lockdown:<\/p>\n

A local ABC news affiliate\u00a0reported<\/a> that guests were required to park their vehicles between poles that were specifically installed to ensure that each car remained at a safe distance apart and that social distancing and mask-wearing guidelines were also enforced on the premises. Attendees were also allowed to sit in front of their cars but not at the sides of them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe general public has been doing a great job \u2014 they\u2019ve been following the COVID-19 requirements and recommendations so it\u2019s gonna be a great evening,\u201d said Jeff Tevanian, the operator at Pride\u2019s Corner, according to WMTV 8.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Pride\u2019s Corner was not the only drive-in theater to have recently garnered a large crowd.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Friday, the Capri\u00a0Drive-in Theater in Branch County, Michigan, was also packed<\/a>, as moviegoers flocked in defiance of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer\u2019s stay-at-home order.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The drive-in theater opened for business for the first time all year on Friday night \u2014 just hours after governor Whitmer held a press conference slamming businesses in Michigan defying her orders.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Drive-in movie theaters have increased in popularity as draconian lockdown measures have been established by politicians in response to the Chinese coronavirus pandemic.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In fact, this new \u201cpandemic generation\u201d currently has more than 300 drive-in theaters available to them across the United States, which is down from about 4,000 in 1958, according to a report by the Middletown Press<\/em><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The concept of drive-in events don\u2019t just stop with movies, as Florida is about to host what is likely the nation\u2019s first-ever\u00a0drive-in music festival<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The festival, called, \u201cThe Road Rave\u201d promises \u201ca \u200bfull festival main stage production\u201d headlined by DJ Carnage, who is calling the event \u201cNorth America\u2019s first-ever drive-in festival of the COVID era.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

We may be locked down in many places, but American ingenuity is alive and well!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
