In 1933 Richard Hollingshead opened the first Drive-in or Park In Movie Theatre as it was originally called. Inspired by his mother's struggle to sit comfortably in regular seats, he launched the Park In so folks could enjoy movies from the comfort of their cars!

The Fog Bow is similar to a rainbow, but it occurs during foggy conditions instead of rain. This white rainbow is a result of sunlight reacting with water droplets in the atmosphere. Some cultures believe this ethereal arch is a symbol of hope and renewal.
