NORTH RIDGEVILLE, Ohio — Get your popcorn ready!
The Aut-O-Rama Drive-In located in North Ridgeville has returned for its 57th Season.
For its opening weekend, Aut-O-Rama will have a double feature of Tom & Jerry and Space Jam.
In a Facebook post earlier this month, the long-time, family friendly movie theater announced that it would reopen Friday, March 19.
The marquee signage read, "See you in a few weeks. How does March 19th sound?"
During the pandemic, Aut-O-Rama Drive-In introduced a series of rules and guidelines to ensure the health and safety of guests and employees, those afore mentioned policies will remain in place, indefinitely.
All recommended and required policies, directives, and orders from the Local and state health departments will be followed, as well as any CDC guidelines where applicable.
