Geocache Description:

This is one more in a series of caches placed on or near the sights of Drive-in theaters of the past. Pioneer theater opened in the 1950's, operated until 1983 and was torn down in 1988 to make way for a shopping center. This cache is a easy P&G.

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 Most drive-ins have been replaced by office parks, super stores and shopping centers.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
