Now this is the kind of news that I enjoy sharing. The Sunset Drive-In Cinema opened in Laredo TX last September, but I just now noticed it. As reported by the Laredo Morning Times, the Sunset is the culmination of Martin and Priscilla Resendez’s dream, inspired by drive-ins they visited during trips to Central Texas.

The Sunset lot is so new it doesn’t really show up on Google Maps, and its location on Francisco Guerra Jr. Blvd. is so remote that there’s no decent Google Street View yet. But the drive-in has been showing movies at a steady pace. According to its web site, tonight’s double feature will be “Sixteen Candles” and “The Breakfast Club.” Tomorrow night brings two showings of “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.”

If you’re anywhere near Laredo, be sure to drop in and help support this great throwback to the drive-ins of old.
