Why Going To The Drive In Rocks

March 24, 2016 By Lisa Grigsby

-1 Drive-in movies are a classic American experience, and we’re lucky enough to have two great drive-ins to choose from.  Whether you’re on a hot date or bring your family, here are some tips for getting the most out of your drive-in experience:

  • Drive-ins are cheaper than regular movies – for less than a ticket at that chain theater you can see a  double feature, so plan to stay for both.
  • If you want a prime spot, show up early.
  • Going to the drive-in on a date allows more cuddling and conversation time than a regular movie.
  • You can bring pillows &  blankets and get all comfy in your own car.
  • Children have room to move around and don’t need to be silent.
  • Kids can be tucked into the back seat at bedtime, and you can enjoy the late show.
  • You can bring your own favorite snacks if you want, or visit the concession stand.
  • You can BYOB if you’re 21 or over.
  • If you choose to, you can smoke in your own car.
  • You can bring your pet if you want.
  • Use the bathroom/buy snacks in the middle of the movie. Before and between movies is always a madhouse.
  • If you leave early, only put on parking lights to exit. Turning on your headlights ruins the movie for everybody else and blinds them for several minutes.

About Lisa Grigsby

Lisa Grigsby is a Special Events Director with over thirty years experience in promotions, event coordination and public relations.

Owning Jokers Comedy Cafe for 20 years taught Lisa to maintain a sense of humor under pressure. She credits Leadership Dayton for exposing her to the amazing assets of the region and Clothes That Work for being her reason she stayed in Dayton. Her proudest accomplishment as a past president of the Miami Valley Restaurant Association was creating Restaurant Week, a twice a year tradition that continues to grow and benefit local charities as well. As a foodie, it's only natural that she continues to promote local restaurateurs with DaytonDining.

As a Dayton Catalyst, her desire to have ONE community calendar and advocate for the amazing assets of the region helped create the vision for the relaunch of DaytonMostMetro.
