Geocache Description:

A Park Ridge, IL movie cache for THE BLUES BROTHERS. The cache is a micro that has no room for a pencil.

Park Ridge, IL served as the backdrop for two key scenes in the movie THE BLUES BROTHERS. This location continues on from The Light Was Yellow, Sir as Elwood tries to elude the State Troopers who are pursuing him and his brother, 'Joliet' Jake. As Elwood hits the infamous 6 corners intersection where Devon, Talcott, and Courtland meet in Park Ridge, the Bluesmobile spins out and does a three-sixty which cause Jake to yell-out the name of this cache.

When you find the cache, you'll be pretty close to the camera position used in the movie. Take a picture of yourself in front of the real estate office (It was the South Park Pharmacy in the movie) and post it here! And while you're probably not going to want to do a 360 through the intersection, you may want to listen to Sam & Dave's Hold On, I'm Comin' which was playing in the Bluesmobile tape deck while they were being chased by Troopers Daniel and Mount.

When you watch the movie, you'll notice that after Jake and Elwood spin out they drive west on Devon away from the intersection but a few minutes later the Bluesmobile comes screaming back through the intersection for its quick journey to Harvey, IL and the Dixie Mall.

And here's the corner as seen in the movie!
