Snack Bars and Fireflies

It's now May, which means it's Drive-In time!
The following is a list of the still operational Drive-Ins nearish to Boston Massachusetts. The mile estimates I've included are estimated based on the starting point being The Prudential Center, as it's a landmark that everyone in Boston knows, and also because you can easily subtract or add miles to the estimates by how far you live from the Pru. Whatever. Or freaking Mapquest all this by yourself. geez!

It should be noted that a lot of these Drive-Ins host flea markets during the day, so it's worth it on a "suburbia day trip" level. Plus, an hour or two isn't all that long of a drive, considering that it take about two hours just to get across the city on game days. Basically, quit whining about the 60 miles and go see a movie under the stars before another one of these Drive-Ins closes and gets turned into a Walmart!
