Used in a sentence: "Before moving here to sunny southern Florida, I had no idea that it was super trendy to host Dive-in Movies."
[See what they did there? They got the rid of the R! So clever ...]
There are likely a few reasons why I missed out on this trend. First, I'm not the trendiest of folks. Second, despite having reached what I hope is mid-life, I still don't know how to swim*. Third, movie nights for me are about lights out, volume up and voices shushed ... which is why I'd rather watch at home than in a public setting. Fourth, there's something to be said about avoiding places that have become shooting galleries for the mentally imbalanced.
[*Just because I don't know how to swim (I panic when I can't touch bottom), doesn't mean I don't like the water (triple-negative alert!). Give me a floatie or two, and I'll stay in the water for hours on end ...]
Before researching for this post, I thought this idea was so cutting edge ... and then I found out that it's all over the country as a concept ... but it was still new and novel to me ... even if I doubt that I'll ever participate. Although, as the great philosopher of our time, The Biebs, says ... "never say never".
