Geocache Description:

This is one in a series of caches placed on or near the sights of Drive-in Theaters of the past. Holiday Drive-in opened in 1965 and closed after the screen was blown down by a tornado in 1980. Now there is a home improvement store at this location. This cache is a regular size cache, please park in an appropriate parking area, rehide cache well and beware of thorns.

The first Drive-in theater opened June 6, 1933 in Camden New Jersey. During the 1950's there where approximately 4,000 drive-ins open in the U.S. 120 of those in Illinois, but presently only about 500 remain in business and only 12 in Illinois. Most drive-ins have been replaced by office parks, super stores and shopping centers. I hope other cachers keep the series growing across America by placing caches at similar locations in there home towns. Information about lost drive-ins can be found on the web by searching Drive-ins.com. Please include any memories you may have of visiting your favorite drive-in in your post.PAC Member
