Quote : | "HENDERSON, N.C. — The Raleigh Road Outdoor Theatre, along with many of the nation's remaining drive-in theaters, is facing challenges due to the changing movie industry.
Movie studios have switched formats – from 35mm prints, which have been used since its invention, to digital projection. For many drive-ins, including the Raleigh Road Outdoor Theatre, there just isn't enough revenue to cover the costs involved with upgrading to a digital projector. New projectors can cost over $80,000.
The Triangle's only drive-in is in the running to win a new projection system, courtesy of Project Drive-In. To preserve this slice of American culture, the project, presented by Honda, will donate five new projectors to the drive-ins with the most votes at the end of the month.
You can vote for the Raleigh Road Outdoor Theatre daily. If they win, the theatre will host a free community event to showcase their new projector!" |

It's Henderson, so I'm not sure that qualifies as "The Triangle" but whatever] 8/14/2013 1:33:48 PM

I was a projectionist at Mission Valley Cinema, so I support your cause.
Just curious, how are you connected to this? 8/14/2013 1:47:22 PM

I'm from Henderson. It's been forever since I've been to the Drive In. They did a lot of work to it a few years back but I haven't been back since. Need to try it out again. It was fun the last time I went. They usually show two movies back to back.
