My family (Sacco) built and operates the Laurel and the now-closed Motor Vu. I can help answer any questions you may have.

For one, Anthony Sacco Sr. was my grandfather. He built the golf driving range there first (ruins of which are still visible near the restaurant building and under the screen), then the restaurant and finally the drive-in. On his death in 1971, his sons, Anthony Jr. and Frank, succeeded him in operating it, and now Frank Sacco is the sole owner and operator.

Thank you for these memories. My grandfather, Anthony Sacco, built and operated the Motor Vu drive-in theater, and my mother worked there for many years. I worked there some years while I was growing up, and I spent two full summers working at their other drive in, Laurel, in Hazleton in the 1970s.
