Imagine going to
Disneyland at the beach,
and it’s free to get in and has no lines. The
Pike was like that and much more in its time. When the silent film
industry
started in the 1900’s, The Pike build eight theaters to show the films.
When ballroom dancing became popular, The Pike had many ballrooms from
which to
choose. Whether it was your childhood memory or your first
date, those lucky
enough to have visited it, will always remember The Pike.
