Well, it is out in West Chicago (Rt. 59 & North Avenue) nearly an hour drive from where I live, but, at the moment - since they closed the one I went to as a kid (212th & Cicero), it is the closest outdoor Drive-In.
Let me add, it is very nice. Mostly families, and not a lot of drunks, troublemakers or riff-raff, so BRING THE KIDS!
Anyhow, we saw Magdagascar 3 and Snow White and the Huntsman (actually a good movie if you are the "Throne-ey" type).
We have drive-ins down pat by now, though; Brought the damn professional camping Air mattress, the tarp to go below, pillows, blankets, our own outdoor speakers, mosquito candles, prop table, chairs, coolers, snaxx, cigars, you name it!
The ride home at 1:30 AM is still rough, though - you don't know whether to drink caffeine and be alert for the ride, yet risk being up all night, or not!
Cascade is at North Ave. and Prince Crossing Rd, about two miles east of route 59.
True, I was speaking generally for the folk who aren't as Familiar.
Once you see SCOOBY'S, YER THERE!
Remember: Per the sign, "No SCOOBY'S FOOD ALLOWED" IN the Drive-in!!! (the respective owners hate each other).
BTW, it was a beautiful night, sky and weather-wise, and we got a pretty cool treat at about 11:35pm - a HUGE, lit-up, blue Direct TV blimp floated out of nowhere, passing overhead on its way from downtown to somewhere westward. Seeing the blimp at night crossing that dark sky was one of the coolest things I have ever witnessed. Pretty damn neat.
A few years back, Scooby's had some trouble with the health department. They were cutting vegetables and raw meat with the same knife, on the same cutting board.
