Geocache Description:


Phase 2 of my series of caches that commemorate where the Drive-In Movie Theaters were or in a few cases, still are. The main source for all of these is a fuller version of a Reader Article that is on Jay Allen Sanford's blog: SAN DIEGO DRIVE-IN THEATER HISTORY 1947 – 2014: June 2014 (sandiegodriveinhistory.blogspot.com)  I also used the Historic Aerials website to try to determine where the entrances and exits were located.

This Drive-In was called the Pacific and was built sometime before 1964 (that's when I first see it on the aerial maps), and was torn down in 1980 to become housing. There's not a lot of information about the drive-in, but Jay Allen's article tells a bit more about the company: "In 1997, Pacific built a 14-screen multiplex in Claremont (the Town Square 14), and the 15-screen Gaslamp Theaters. Pacific today operates about 400 hardtop screens, including theaters in La Mesa (Grossmont Center's Stadium 10 and Trolley 8), and elsewhere in San Diego. The company has all but given up on the drive-in business."
