Geocache Description:

Posted coordinates are near the spot of long gone Kesem movie theatre in Ramat Gan (corner of Hayarden St and Moshe Dayan St), for decades now stand in its place a building and a supermarket. Kesem literally means magic, and indeed in the early days i'm sure the cinema, along with such inventions as radio and telephone seemed like magic
