Road Crew

Brother-and-sister team, Kipp Sherer and Jennifer Sherer Janisch started researching drive-ins in 1995 when they decided the world needed more good drive-ins.

Today, the duo continues to research drive-ins in preparation for an entertainment facility they will open in Las Vegas, Nevada. They also make frequent road trips and visit drive-ins across the country whenever they can, sharing their experiences via the World Wide Web.

When they're not visiting drive-ins or working on the website, Jennifer can be seen tooling around Vegas in her '68 Mustang Fastback and Kipp can be found putting out fires in Northeastern Ohio. Jennifer is a business analyst and Kipp is a firefighter / paramedic.
