Are those other shots inside the tall thin building (presumably the screen)? jonrev  Location: Lake Wazzapamani Gender: Male Observer of obsolesence  |  |  Re: Drive-In Theatre in Illinois <Reply # 2 on 9/26/2011 9:01 PM >   I forgot about this place.

Not too many of the shots I took in there turned out too well. But the other interior shots are from the tall building that served as the screen. But yeah this place was pretty nifty.

I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of stars makes me dream. ~Lynx~  Location: Chicago Gender: Female  |  Re: Drive-In Theatre in Illinois <Reply # 6 on 9/27/2011 9:43 PM >   No. Unfortunately, we didn't learn of the ammunition plant until a week after we had went; it would have been a neat site to hit.

Well, I would recommend planning a trip back and making a full day of it.

As much as I would love to do that, I'm in Japan for the next year for school. Going to get my exploring on over here for awhile. But JAAP is definitely a site I'm going to check out once I'm back in the states.

Never stopped to check it out, as it's off of a fairly busy road, but you took some nice pics! I'm old enough to remember the era of the drive-in; makes me sad that I can't take my own kid to one. ~Lynx~  Location: Chicago Gender: Female  |  Re: Drive-In Theatre in Illinois <Reply # 10 on 10/19/2011 4:11 PM >   Posted by GroundZero I pass by that place every day, on the way to work, and on the way home!

I wouldn't worry about it being on a busy road. We walked right in with a police officer parked across the street and no less then three squads driving past, ranging from local to state level, while we stood out front of the building. I was armed with a DSLR on a tripod so they'll could not have not seen us. None even slowed down. There are still drive-in theaters around if you look. If you dont mind a drive there is one near the Indiana dunes. I was babysitting some kids and took them to see Shrek 4.
