November 1999. State College, Pennsylvania. The Starlite.<\/p>\n

CORRECTION. I had the wrong STARLITE Drive In listed in my original post.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Drive In is still in business! According to http:\/\/www.driveinmovie.com\/PA.htm<\/a>
\nState College (Centre County) Pennsylvania<\/em>
\n Starlite Drive-in Theatre: \u00a0814-237-0001<\/em>
\n located at 1100 Benner Pike<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I wonder, some 13 years later, if the marquee or anything has been updated.<\/p>\n[audio:https:\/\/www.eyesofsilverblue.com\/starlite.mp3]\n
