While the newly remodeled drive-in is pleasing as far as cleanliness, price and location, the placement of the one screen they put back up is extremely undesirable. The huge lights from the car dealership cast shadow s of the trees right on the screen during both movies. I understand why they thought putting it where they did (so passerby s would see it from either direction) would be the best interest of the business, its was very distracting to try watching through those shadows, I left after G.I.Joe because of it. I don t think my family will be back unless there is a change.
