DST destroyed the drive in movie industry.

VHS rentals and cable TV, followed by DVDs and Netflix, destroyed the drive-in movie industry.

I used to love Drive-ins.

I would blame their demise on Daylight Savings time because it never got dark, and the pressure of real estate being swallowed up as the population exploded when the 1965 Immigration Act started the world’s masses flowing into America.

By the time 8:30 or 9:00PM rolls around people would have settled on something else besides a double feature at the local drive-in which was going to get them home at 1:00AM.
