New York-based designer Michael Counts and his Nashville partners, including Ken Levitan, inked a letter of intent to lease a 7.7-acre property in the East Bank area to develop August Moon Drive-In, a concept created by Counts.

August Moon will be designed to connect moviegoers with a nostalgia for American popular culture, under a 40k SF air-supported dome, along with a simulated starry sky and seating in modified classic cars.
