"The Starlite Drive-In gives you more, call five two-four two-four two-four"

As I mentioned in the previous post, Harley spent the night last night with Grandma and Grandpa Shepherd so that Angie and I could take in a couple of movies at the drive-in. As the locusts buzzed in the nearby treeline as the sun started to creep below the horizon, I was reminded of some of the cool things that Wichita has to offer. Wichitans tend to complain that there is little to do here but having lived in smaller towns before returning home, I can tell you that Wichita has a lot to offer, including the Starlite (formerly Landmark) Drive-In. It's a hidden gem (or diamond in the rough) that I hope people continue to visit so that it doesn't go away (say, like our failed theme parks and professional baseball team.)

I made a few snaps of our surroundings but I didn't try too hard. We parked in row 8.

The movies are broadcast on FM frequencies and through old school speakerboxes. With a couple hundred speakerboxes throughout the theater, you don't really need to listen to it on the radio.

We need to start doing more self-portraits. We used to do them all the time.
