FIRST DRIVE-IN THEATER ON THIS DAY

On June 6, 1933, eager motorists parked their automobiles on
the grounds of
Camden Drive-In, the first-ever drive-in movie
theater, located on Admiral Wilson Boulevard in Pennsauken, 
New Jersey.

Park-In Theaters–the term “drive-in” came to be widely used
only later–was the brainchild of Richard Hollingshead, a movie
fan and a sales manager at his father’s company, Whiz Auto
Products, in Camden. Reportedly inspired by his mother’s
struggle to sit comfortably in traditional movie theater seats, Hollingshead came up with the idea of an open-air theater
where patrons watched movies in the comfort of their own
automobiles.

Dea’s has been offering their “Longburger”, hot dogs, French fries,
shakes and sodas since a small beginning in 1953. The original
location was a drive-thru on Southeast Powell Boulevard across         
the street from Mt. Hood Theater in  Gresham, Oregon.

Dea’s In & Out continues to be a fine family-owned and operated
restaurant.
