This is another one in a series placed on or near the sights of Drive-in theaters of the past. The Starlight Drive-in opened in 1950 and was destroyed by fire in 1991. This is a drive-in that brings back many childhood memories. As a family we spent many friday or saturday nights here. Now located on the sight is a 14 screen movie plex.
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 Most drive-ins have been replaced by office parks, super stores and shopping centers.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.
