The Drive-In Answer Man
Drive-In Workshop Inquiries and Suggestions

QUESTION: I would like to see more pictures of drive-ins on your page. I have some good ones I could send you real cheap. What is the going rate?

ANSWER: Thanks, but no thanks. This is not the proper forum. This website's focus is on technical and historical data. There are other websites that specialize in photographs of individual theatres and I have no aspirations to compete with them.

QUESTION: Can you simplify or make the technical information easier for people to read? Much of it seems a little too wordy to comprehend. I believe you should write everything on a more basic level, so the average "Joe" can understand it. Thank you.

ANSWER: Joe probably won't build a theatre and is likely only mildly curious. That being the case, he's probably gotten all he's going to get here anyway. I contructed this website to be exactly what I would want to find on the internet, if I were looking. I'm a technician in the industry and know just how rare drive-in construction and technical specifications are to find. The information just simply isn't available anymore. It is a narrowly-focused field of knowledge and is highly specialized. While I appreciate your position of creating mass appeal, I do not wish to compromise the historical and practical value of the site for technical personnel or for those wanting more.
