I haven't slowed down on getting Brownsville a Drive-In Theater. Expenses has surpassed what I can pay for, but the good news is we got all the equipment needed. Just doing some final tests at home before putting it and open it to the public.

We'll be starting with picnic style movie nights. I may be looking at HOAs, Apartment complexes, etc, so if , you live in an apartment complex or know someone in HOA that could use some movie nights, get your community manager to shoot me a message!

Last night, our family invited us to a pool party. I wanted to surprise my niece with watching Lilo & Stitch since that's her favorite. But the place that was rented was too small.

This was a learning experience. I'm going to have to check on venues before I book events. I don't want to book an event and then realize I don't even have the space for screen and equipment.

We'll eventually have a full picnic movie night event soon, but I think I'll also offer this as a community event to HOA or Apartment complexes in Brownsville, Tx. I'm also considering Los Fresnos, Harlingen and San Benito.

We're going to grow. Brownsville, Texas, will have a Drive-In Theater. Mark my words.

I want to work hard to bring a drive-in theater to Brownsville! But I'm starting from scratch. Nothing but a dream.

I can't wait to look back two years from now and see how far we've gone!

I got a question for Texas! Would you watch cult classic films in a DriveIn or prefer new releases? Share your thoughts!!

The deep partial lunar eclipse is happening right now in Brownsville, Texas! 🌒🌌

🕗 It started at 8:23 p.m. CDT and is reaching its peak at 11:12 p.m. CDT, with around 93% of the Moon in Earth’s shadow.

My next investment I'm hunting down is a solid PA system for the audio. That will get us closer to our first public picnic movie night event! Soon!
