With movie theaters closed across the country, Bob Scharmette and his family want people to know the Milford Drive-In is open for business with plenty of space for customers to spread out.
Indoor theaters have had an advantage over drive-ins for years because they can show movies any time of the day, year-round, and people still show up when it rains. But COVID drove them to close shop and go dark, while drive ins have remained open, with family members arriving in their own cars and watching a show, safely, outside.
