...seemed as if the iconic U.S. entertainment form was headed for extinction, a mini-revival began. Fueled by a blast of nostalgia as well as families tired of spending upwards of $50 to take the kids to the multiplex, new drive-ins have opened in Texas, Montana, Alabama, Georgia, Pennsylvania and New York, while all over the country, vintage theaters have been renovated. Websites like drive-in.net and driveintheater.com keep aficionados updated about openings and showtimes...

...never had a Farm Aid that far east, so we're going to try one. There's a lot of farmers in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York. We've had 20 years of Farm Aids hoping that Washington would pass a good deal so that farmers can make a living. There's a lot of people out there getting government subsidies, but it ain't going to the small farmers. It's going to the big guy who doesn't really need it, and it's putting farmers out of business all over the world...
