When you visit the Silver Moon Drive-In Theatre, a trip to the movies becomes a step back in time. It’s the only drive-in left in Polk County, linking Lakeland’s present to its past through decades of movie magic.

In the next episode of WEDU PBS’ “Greater Lakeland” series, owner Chip Sawyer and superfan Allen Kucera share what’s made it such a special place since 1948.

Stream anytime or catch the episode live at 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 21.
