Will drive-in theaters become the rage again?

Should interstate toll booths become coronavirus testing stations?

Should drive-through liquor stores start selling toilet paper?

Are we all going to need ultraviolet sanitizing mailboxes and package drop boxes installed?

Do they make robots that can give me a haircut?

Just some thoughts from the KY stir-crazy zone......... .......

No need to overengineer a robotic barber though, we already have the perfectly adequate Flowbee system.

I hope they come back. There is one they closed in San Francisco and the land was supposed to be developed but it hasn’t.

It's a 2 screener, usually family friendly shows on one screen and more grown up fair on the other. 2 adult tickets and a large popcorn is $20 for a double feature.
