drive-ins

When the pandemic hit in 2020, everything was shut down, that included the movies.

There are times when it seems that Guy Fieri's voice is heard more often in my house than mine is. That's cool with me, as we are unabashed "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives" fans, and have been since the show came along in 2007.

I sometimes feel badly for those who are too young to have experienced the fun of a drive-in movie. At one time, Rockford had several drive-in movie theaters to choose from, but those days are long gone. Now, the closest drive-in that I could find is 39 miles away in McHenry. Don't despair, though. There's a great alternative right here in town.
