The Union Drive-In was in operation from 1936 to 1983 and featured a 1400 car capacity. The drive-in was located on Route 22 east at the current location of The Point Condominium development and Burger King.

Aerial photo showing the Adventure Car Hop in the center island of Route 22 in 1961. Currently Red Lobster stands at this site.
Found on the web:
"Many nights spent racing at the Adventure Car Hop on Rte. 22. We would go in going east get some food, and then pool some guys to get up a race. We would pull out of the Adverture going west racing 3 and 4 cars wide. We had a 54 nail head Buick/stick/duels/california speed shop’isky cam/duel point ing/chemicals .. in the gas tank. The last race I remember there was a 4 car race and we were ahead, and all of a sudden we got passed by an ugly 49/50 chevy green I think. We all pulled over paid our 50 bucks and drove off into the future-we drove the police nuts I figure. I still have my haulin gents club plaque (Asbury Park). No street racing with those guys. Just nice street rides and car shows-STOCK CARS /RACEWAYPARK.

The famous Four Seasons Bowling Alley on West Chestnut St. As the story goes, Frankie Valli and his band mates auditioned for a gig in the lounge and got turned down. They liked the name of the place and decided to use it for their group.

This photo was taken before the property was used to build a Costco Store.
