One I heard about fomr a tour guide that was supposedly true was the Fireweed drive-in movie theater in Anchorage, Alaska (there’s now a standard indoor theater there).
This one took some thinking about. In the winter, it’s too cold, but that’s true in most of the lower 48 as well. In the summer, the temperature shouldn’t be a problem, right?
Well, remember that Alaska is called “The Land of the Midnight Sun.”
