Idaho’s Treasure Valley Is Home To A 1953 Drive-In That Still Runs Double Features In The Streaming Age
The popcorn machine at this drive-in has been popping kernels since 1953. Same machine. Seventy-plus years of buttery work, and it still clocks in every weekend. That alone would earn a spot on my Idaho bucket list. But the screen out here still runs two movies a night, one after the other, while the rest of the world argues over streaming passwords.
