A nice story about a couple that saved
Shankweiler's Drive-In, Orefield, PA, the oldest operating drive-in theater in the world...

Couple took out $1M loan to save America's oldest drive-in theater—now it brings in nearly $550K a year:

So I was curious to know how they deliver the audio and visited their FAQ page. It's FM, - not surprising, but what did surprise me is that dead batteries are apparently occasionally still an issue at drive-ins. I thought that ended when solid state circuitry became the norm..

  • How do I hear the movie?
    Tune to 90.7FM! You can use your car radio, or bring a portable radio/boombox. Please note that smartphone streaming apps and bluetooth devices will not work.
  • What if my car battery dies?                      This sometimes happens if you put your vehicle in the “run” setting instead of “accessory mode”. In the event of a dead battery, notify a snack bar attendant and we’ll jump-start your car during intermission or after the program
