Enjoying a Piece of Americana


After the Daddy-Daughter Dance we headed for Fairborn's very own Drive-In Movie Theater. There are very few places in America where a person can enjoy this form of true Americana Entertainment. Ohio happens to be the leading state in America for preserving this piece of America's history. There are more functioning drive-in theaters in Ohio than any other state. However, even here in Ohio the legacy fades more and more as theaters continue to close. So every summer when these theaters open their gates we make it a point to watch some of the summers smash hits under the stars. Our first occasion this year provided us the opportunity to watch Jon Heder's (aka Napoleon Dynamite) most recent performance in "Benchwarmers".

Benchwarmers was a good film if you loved Napoleon Dynamite. The same type of humor was present and of course Jon plays a character that could certainly be related to the Dynamite family. So a must see for those of you who believe (its a ND thing).

We had a real blast enjoying our movie under the stars........ by the way the other feature was Scary Movie 4..........yah well it was included in the price of Benchwarmers but I still felt like the theater owed me something after sitting through that very stupid movie.
