It’s no secret that the classic concept of the American drive-in is having its greatest year in decades. Welcome to the new reality of pandemic life, where social distancing is the rule and is going to be with us for the foreseeable future. We’ve been taking advantage of the drive-in Renaissance, with plans to spend more summer nights in our cars.

Here’s what it looked like at Chicago Drive-In last week in Bridgeview. Also: For a family movie, The Addams Family still has plenty of dark humor laughs.

Chicago rock heroes Local H kicked off two sold-out nights at Harvest Moon drive-in last night in Gibson City, Illinois. Words can’t properly describe how great it was to see live music again (while keeping a safe distance from others). And sitting in the car listening to the feed on the radio with the AC cranked? That was kind of amazing.
