Open-Air Cinema

Did you know?
The drive-in theater was invented by Richard Hollingshead in New Jersey in 1933 — he rigged a film projector onto the hood of his car because his mother found the seats in a regular cinema uncomfortable. Within ten years the family experiment became a whole American subculture.
