Parsons, a Winter Haven native, was voted posthumously into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame earlier this year and will be part of the induction ceremonies for the 2026 class at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles at 7 p.m. Nov. 14.

Only four traditional Florida drive-ins are still showing movies, and their screens keep a disappearing tradition alive

The lights go down, but nobody has to find a seat. Children settle under blankets in the back of the car. Someone adjusts the radio until the soundtrack comes through the speakers, while the smell of popcorn drifts from a concession stand that looks as though it belongs in another decade.
