LAS VEGAS, NV, May 03, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Drive-On-In, Inc. today announced plans to publish a 5th edition of the Pocket Drive-In Locator . The Drive-In Locator is a quick reference of over 400 operating drive-in movie theaters around the world. New to this edition is a primer on the history of the drive-in movie theater.

The Drive-In Locator includes special features not published in any other books, including drive ins indexed by highway, metropolitan area, and state/country.
