Get the popcorn ready, because Friday is movie night in Unicoi.
The town of Unicoi will host its first free drive-in movie of the summer on Friday, June 18, at the Tourist Information Center. The Movies in the Park series, which played one free movie per month during June, July and August, was moved from the Bogart-Bowman Cabin to the Tourist Information Center, where the event became a drive-in last year due to COVID-19.
âThe drive-ins were such a hit last year that weâve decided to keep that format,â Communications and Programs Director Ashley Shelton said. âParking is easier, concessions are more accessible and the entire experience of a drive-in was something the kids really enjoyed.â

Unicoi shouldnât bend over for asphalt plant
Iâm responding to recently published comments by Town of Unicoi Mayor Kathy Bullen in which she âwants to dispel asphalt plant rumors.â Many of the points the mayor made were accurate and valid, but some were not, and Iâd like to respond to a couple of them.
First, she said that as mayor she must represent all landowners and that Summers-Taylor is a landowner. True enough. However, she is weighing the concerns of one landowner (who doesnât even live in Unicoi County) over those of the people living in 550 homes within one mile of the plant (most of whom are landowners) whose health, property values, and overall quality of life would be adversely affected if there is a major expansion of the asphalt plant. That is in no way an equivalent comparison. Itâs very one-sided.
