Going to the drive-in used to be a pleasant affair. Not so much at The Starlite. I'd read about the local drive-in's reopening after the fire and checked out their website. Nice website, in fact----very promising. Good concession prices and admission prices and hey, you can even bring the family pets! Well, all of this is true----except once you get there you find that 90% of the vehicles are gonna block your view if you don't take your 2-story-high farm pickup truck like the rest of them do. Oh, and make sure you park right in front of the Miata, Bubba. Also, if you have a weak stomach, don't look too closely at the "kitchen" where they cook the food. It's rather nasty upon not-so-close inspection. And don't forget to buy a gun and some ammo with that burger and fries, all without moving from the same spot. Somehow, they were still able to score a 95.0 sanitation score!!! That has scared the bejeezus out of me to ever go to a place with that high a score again! After reading this and you'd still like to go to The Starlight, I'd suggest that you: 1. Take your own food 2. Go early and park right up front unless you have that kind of vehicle I mentioned and in that case, by all means park anywhere you feel like because at least everyone in YOUR vehicle will be able to enjoy the movie. The heck with courtesy!
