It’s the name of the village it is in.

Exton Drive-in was razed for a Shopping Center called Whiteland Towne Center.

If you look at the map of the center by typing it into , say, Google Earth, it essentially takes up the exact footprint of the original drive-in.

“The Hooters” (a band from the 80’s) filmed a music video (And We Danced) there that features the marquee at the beginning of the video which is from the Rt 30 entrance.

There was also an entrance from Rt 100, which is the narrow section of property you will notice on the gray outline of the property on a map.

The video shows EXACTLY what the Drive-in looked like til the day it was closed. All of it was shot on site in one evening. People wanted to leave as filming pressed on late into the evening and some individuals became very agitated, not understanding how long it takes to do a shoot. In the end, it was a nicely made music video and a great archive of a part of the history for our area, although most people don’t know about this video or the drive-in, since it has been gone for 20 years.
