Published: Nov. 28, 2023, 11:25 a.m.

Shankweiler's Drive-In in Orefield, PA has the distinction of being America's oldest drive-in movie theater, and we had the honor of sitting down with owners Matt and Lauren who purchased the drive-in just last year. We get to hear about what led them to purchase Shankweiler's, what it's like to show movies in Arctic temperatures, the discovery of their side kick Funnel Cake, and so much more. From the origins of the mobile cinema, Moving Picture Cinema, to attending the National Theater Owners Convention we bring you this Hollywood story set under the stars this week.
