Signs advertising "Drive-In Theater" and "Coming Soon" have turned drivers' heads and gotten people talking on the quiet prairie. The two bright-colored signs were staked in an open lot on Prairie Avenue a few days ago. Kootenai County's community development department fielded calls from people wondering what's happening. Property owner Kirk Hughes couldn't immediately be reached for comment Wednesday. Kootenai County Planner Mel Palmer said she spoke with Hughes Wednesday, but he didn't say what his intention was with the signs. "I explained to Mr. Hughes (that) all signs within the county are required to meet the Kootenai County ordinance requirements and if he wishes to have a drive-in theater, he needs to make an application for it with the county," Palmer said. The 9.5-acre lot is located east of Meyer Road and west of Daisy Lane on the north side of Prairie/David Coles, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.

DFO: I know a little something about this. It'll be interesting to see what happens next on the property.

Question: When did you last attend a drive-in movie?
