It's been a week since the discovery of Jason Blossom's body. But his death is not the first, nor would it be the last casualty that the town of Riverdale would suffer. The Twilight Drive-In where I work, my home away from home, a piece of town history, is closing for good, just when we needed a place to escape to the most. With Sheriff Keller knocking on every door and neighbor suspecting neighbor, Riverdale, every day that passes, is becoming more like Salem during the witch trials. And meanwhile, the girl next door, our friendly neighborhood Hitchcock blonde, Betty Cooper, was wrestling with the knowledge that her best friend, Archie Andrews, was caught up in a forbidden romance.

"Dear Diary, Sheriff Keller doesn't know what I know, that Riverdale High's music teacher, Geraldine Grundy, was at Sweetwater River the morning Jason Blossom went missing, and that since Archie was also there, they could have been there together." As at nigth Kevin Heaven

"The Drive-In closing is just one more nail in the coffin that is Riverdale... No, forget Riverdale, in the coffin of the American dream As the godfather of indie cinema, Quentin Tarantino, likes to say..."

"Please, God, no more Quentin Tarantino references." Said Kevin

"What? I'm pissed and so is Evan And not just about losing our jobs. The Twilight Drive-In should mean something to us. People should be trying to save it."

"In this age of Netflix and VOD, do people really want to watch a movie in a car? I mean, who even goes there?"

"People who want to buy crack"

"And cinephiles, and car enthusiasts Right, Bets?"

"Totally."

"Anyway, it's closing because the town owns it, but didn't invest in it So when an anonymous buyer made Mayor McCoy an offer, she couldn't refuse..."

"Anonymous buyer? What do they have to hide? No one cares."

"Me and Evan do! Also, you guys should all come to closing night. I'm thinking American Graffiti... Or is that too obvious?"

"I vote for anything starring Audrey Hepburn. Or Cate Blanchett."

"Or The Talented Mr. Ripley. Betty, your choices?"

"Everything okay, B?" Cherly dragged heaven to sit with her since she was her best friends so Heaven didn't mind one bit but Evan did a bit.
