I know there were business reasons why the drive-ins in Twin Falls closed, but that doesn't mean I have to be happy about it. I came across a brand new drive-in and I want one of these in Twin Falls now.

Only In Your State featured this place. It's the West Wind in Las Vegas. This drive-in is amazing. There are so many things about this drive-in to call out. First, check out the multitude of screens.

The West Wind even has its own very sweet arcade for the kids (and adults that still believe they're kids).

Did I mention this place is completely digital, which makes all the movie things on the screen look pretty?

Plus, the audio is shot digitally to your car stereo.

This drive-in doesn't settle for showing old movies. This weekend, they have the new Mummy movie with Tom Cruise (which may or may not be a bad thing, from what I've heard), Cars 3, Wonder Woman, etc.

It's a risky and expensive thing to try and make a drive-in theater work in 2017. But, if I had the dollars (sorry, I don't), I'd build one of these in Twin Falls and I'd do it right now.
