The Eri-Lyn (named for the nearby towns of Erie and Lyndon) was located off Route 78 South. It was a single-screen drive-in which closed around 1987.
Sometime later, the drive-in was razed except for the marquee, which still stands.

The final season was, I believe, in 1987, which is the year my family attended a double feature of “Beverly Hills Cop II” and “Top Gun” there. I’m pretty sure it remained closed when the next year’s drive-in season came along; I’m not sure when the screen came down.

Amazing how the marquee has stood for 20 years.
This is a nice 2009 photo.
