Drive in restaurants and movie theaters have been around for decades but have slowly started to lose their customers to the convenience and reliability of bigger corporations. As the trends of the world have continued to change, there are tons of drive ins that have decided to shut down businesses as it's been increasingly harder to keep up with the competition.

Southwest Michigan is lucky enough to still be home to several drive-in restaurants and even a drive-in movie theater.
