I have added over 35 new movie theater pictures today, see the "Latest Pictures" section under "Indoor Theaters" to check them out. You can also click
here to see them all.
My goal is to ultimately have at least 1 photo each of every indoor theatre and drive-in in Michigan. I am getting closer to that goal all of the time.
I need help to achieve this so keep the submissions coming in.
The hosting fees will be coming due again. Any donations would be greatly appreciated, even 5-10 dollars helps. You can use the Pay Pal link
on this page.

From WLNS: In spite of some controversy over the last few years, a plot of land that's been vacant for 35-years will be up and running by the summer for a dragway in Onondaga Township.
After three years of trying, Daniel Pranshka and his business partner were awarded a permit to re-open Onondaga Dragway.
"I say the Onondaga Dragway - I can be in Pigeon Forge, I can be in Florida, people know what the Onondaga Dragway was and hopefully we can get it up and going and get it back to that standard," said Pranshka.
Pranshka and his partner are investing $250,000 to renovate the plot, adding concessions and spectator stands fencing. He credits the community for making his dream a reality.

Paul Petoskey has sent in several new theater and opera house pictures, you can see them under the "Latest Pictures" links below.
I appreciate the submissions folks, keep them coming.
I plan on getting out and around the state much more this spring and summer to get new
content for the site. If you are driving along and see something interesting, please feel free to snap a pic with your camera phone
and send it to waterwinterwonderland@gmail.com.

Ron Gross of MichiganDriveIns.com has done some detective work recently and scored some classic photos of 3 drive-ins. The Vista in Walker,
The Cascade in Cascade, and the Beltline in Wyoming.
You can check the "Latest Pictures" for drive-ins here.
Now all I have to do is get Ron to put up a new version of his web site! By the way, the digital projectors for the Capri were delivered and
they will be installed tomorrow. The first test will be on Wednesday. I will be sure to post some pictures of the new equipment.

We have exciting news from the Capri Drive-In in Coldwater. Their new digital projectors are being installed March 15th.
This new system will provide a brighter, higher quality picture.
It is great that Tom and Sue Magocs were willing to make this significant investment in order to keep
this classic drive-in alive for generations to come. Please plan a trip to the Capri this season to show your support!
