SUMMARY: The Iuka Drive-In, the oldest and only operational drive-in theatre in Mississippi, is located in the small town of Iuka, population around 3,000. Owned by Leslie Curtis Sr., who commutes three hours every weekend from Waverly, Tennessee, this family–run establishment offers a unique cinematic experience. Curtis emphasizes preserving this cultural icon, reflecting its historical significance since the 1950s. Operating on weekends, the drive-in shows a mix of new and classic films, costing $10 per adult. Concessions are essential to sustain the theater, which sells a variety of snacks. The Curtis family aims to keep this dying piece of Americana alive.

SUMMARY: Bacon, dating back to 1500 BCE, originated with the Chinese salting pork belly, later embraced by the Romans and spread throughout medieval Europe. It preserves pork through smoking, enhancing its flavor, which is primarily due to its fat content. Globally, bacon has various names, such as “rasher” in the UK and “speck” in Italy.
