LOS ANGELES, April 19 (Xinhua) -- After a more-than-one-year COVID-19 pandemic which is still ravaging across the United States, California, particularly the Los Angeles area became home to the latest movie craze: drive-in movie theaters.
Drive-ins, where customers watch movies in their cars on huge screens outdoors, is a distinctly America lifestyle innovation that is the marriage of two of America's favorite pastimes: movies and cars.
Now of course, during the COVID-19 pandemic, drive-ins offer one more thing: safety, which is still a big concern for Americans as infection cases and hospitalizations are still increasing in some areas and variants continue to spread.
