And this review listed on Amazon.com for the Book: "The Great American Road Trip, US 1 Maine to Florida" by Peter Genoves:

Reviewer: Todd Stockslager:  (written: November 29, 2009)

"...... Now I live in Raleigh, NC where Route 1 is still part of the landscape, and it remains much the same, although it traverses a still-rural but suburbanizing landscape as it nears Raleigh, where the carnival atmosphere of stores, malls, car dealers, and billboards sets up shop. And I can tell you that the Raleigh Road Outdoor Theatre (that's drive-in for those who remember what that means) mentioned and pictured in the book (see pages 117-119 and the gorgous color picture of the still-the same screen) is still in business and by all accounts thriving from our visit there this year. The bunker-like projection room and snack bar, half submerged inthe center of the parking area, looks like it might have been unchanged since Genovese's 1999 visit--and two decades before. The playground still teams with youngsters, families still arrive in vans and pick-ups and pile out into lawn chairs and chat with their neighbors, and on screen are still the three first-run features, the first at dusk aimed at the kids, the second at families, and the third for those still awake and still paying attention (not necessarily the same thing at a drive-in). And an added bonus, the local live rock band playing obscure movie themes before the shows started on the screen! It was a piece of Americana not to be missed!
