Drive In America

The drive-in got its humble beginnings in the driveway of Hollingshead’s Riverton, New Jersey home, at 212 Thomas Avenue. This is where his first experimentations took place. Setting a 1928 Kodak projector on the hood of the family car, he projected the film onto a screen he had nailed to a tree. He tested the potential hazards of foul weather by turning on his lawn sprinkler to simulate a rainstorm. His home radio sitting behind the screen to provide sound, Hollingshead sat in his car watching and listening. The car windows up or

Driving under the influence is a crime the majority of the population of Florida has committed and continues to commit on a daily basis. This crime has serious consequences, not only legal ramifications, but can cause serious bodily injury to the driver and pedestrians on or near the road way. Why do Floridians continue to break this law and put themselves and their loved ones in danger? It seems as if impaired judgement and ego play a big part in their decision to take a gamble with their life. Every day in America, another 28 people die as a result of drunk driving crashes. (Madd.org) The response of the public is always negative when we hear of crashes or loss of life involving DUI but these same people decide to drive while

How much more time will we be obtained to experience agony and cruelty due to the fact that there are incautious drunk drivers? How did this become a problem? Driving under the influence became a problem in the U.S. ever since the creation of cars; although, people would not consider it an actual issue until the 1980’s. During around that same time, crime was defined as a personal choice and individual fault. Drunk driving fell under personal choice and individual fault. It is now illegal to drive under the influence in every state but apart from that, it is very unsafe for families in both ends of the predicament.

Kopp of course bets on the drive-ins' survival. In 2005, he and his wife bought the Raleigh Road Outdoor Theatre in Henderson, N.C., for $22,000 on eBay. He said they've invested about $300,000 since to clear the seven acres of weeds and modernize the technology. Today the theatre can accommodate 265 cars and show movies in a 60-foot-by-80-foot screen. The sound comes through car radios.

Early on in the nineteenth century, being a new invention, car companies were producing expensive automobiles that only the wealthy were able to afford. This separated the social classes even more in the pride there was of owning a car. But, money could not buy experience, early drivers were not experienced drivers and their reckless behaviors made some fed-up Americans feel obligated to do something to slow them down.

Drive-in theaters were also introduced, appealing to the teens who were taking advantage of their new freedoms. Automobiles also brought about new ways of enjoying leisure time by creating amusement parks and shopping centers that Americans could drive to rather than riding a street-car or train. “No consumer product has shaped twentieth-century personal life more than the car.” (Cross and Szostak 271) Movies began to impact American culture when sight and sound were merged together in films.

Not too long ago Americans were sold an idea that has influenced the way we live our lives today. With an incredible marketing team and the majority of the population having some sort of disposable income, the idea of the automobile was a hit. A personal vehicle that could get you almost anywhere, at any time was flying off the shelves. The American dream was born with what seemed to be the ultimate piece of technology that gave people the freedom to travel wherever and whenever. With this technology came a paradigm shift within the design and planning of cities and neighborhoods alike, steering away from the idea of walking or biking places. With the affordability of the car it was easy to drive where ever the destination maybe. This created

A. Driving is a huge responsibility, and cannot be taken for granted. When driving, the driver must take this responsibility seriously and must not be carried away by this privilege.

Richard Hollingshead made history June 6, 1933, when he opened the first drive-in movie theater in Camden, New Jersey (Cohen). Richard was a sales manager at his dad’s store, Whiz Auto Products (Cohen). The idea for a drive-in movie theater came to him because his mother would be very uncomfortable when she would sit in theater seats. He experimented in his own driveway (Cohen), by nailing a screen to a tree, putting a 1928 Kodak projector on the hood of a car, and using a radio to produce sound (“Drive-In Movie History”). He also

From the March 2003 invasion of Iraq until September of 2006, about 2,600 American troops were killed in combat and war-related incidents (Wilson 18). Did you know during that same 41-month period, more than 22,000 teenagers, ages 15 to 19, died in traffic accidents on U.S. roads? (Wilson 18). That number has now escalated to approximately 4,500 soldiers and over 40,000 teens lost. Parents in the United States have relied on driver’s education and training to prepare their teens for the responsibility of driving. In fact, we rely too much on driver’s education. Recent studies have indicated that driver’s education, or DE, has failed to produce safe drivers. Even though the common

America is one of several countries in the world in which almost all people are immigrants. So there are people from all over the world, which brought different cultural traditions to this country.

SWINBURNE UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY Company Profile: Village Roadshow Charlotte Monaghan 100600769 2016 Introduction Village Roadshow began in 1954 as one of the first drive-in cinemas in Australia in the Melbourne suburb of Croydon.

Going to the movie theater has been a well-known activity. People go to the movies to watch all the new movies with the company of either their girlfriend or boyfriend, a group of friends, or with family. There are many qualities one has to think about when they are choosing a location to watch a movie. They have two options, a Cinemax theater or a Drive In theater. A Drive In theater tends to have more qualities when watching a move rather than a Cinemax. Although a Cinemax theater does have some qualities of interest a Drive In theater seems more valuable. For one, the Drive in is inexpensive compared to a Cinemax theater. The customer gets to watch two movies for the price of one at a Drive in unlike the Cinemax theater where you only watch one movie for one price. Secondly, at a Cinemax theater they do not let their customers bring their own food from outside therefore, you have to buy their pricey food. While at the Drive In anybody is welcomed to bring any type of outside food into the theater area. Thirdly, in a Cinemax theater one is in a building with a large amount of other people and at a Drive In a person is in their own car with people they do know.
