Youngsters today may never use a pay phone or buy a CD, but it's not too late for them to experience a drive-in movie theater. Boulevard Drive-In (1051 Merriam Lane, Kansas City, Kansas, 913-262-2414) offers a day at the movies with a superhero triple feature on its new projector of 4,096 by 2,160 pixels (meaning higher resolution than Blu-ray or HD). Flickage for
Superheroes on the Boulevard begins at 7:45 p.m. and includes
Thor, Iron Man and
Captain America — a primer for Marvel's brand-new extravaganza, The Avengers. Family-friendly activities start at 3 p.m. and include laser tag, inflatables and a giant human hamster ball. Admission costs $25 a carful. For more information, see
