It looks like the Vali-Hi had been closed since after the 2021 season. The website also appeared to be frozen, and Google Maps also show that the marquee sat empty ever since.

50sSNIPES commented about Starlite Drive-In on Apr 24, 2025 at 9:36 am

The Easton Medina Drive-In opened its gates on July 29, 1949 with Adolphe Menjou in “The Goldwyn Follies” along with an unnamed cartoon and a novelty. It was first managed by Archie Aldman of Easton, and what’s really unique about him is that he previously operated the Loew’s 175th Street Theatre in New York City ever since the very beginning of THAT theater. It was renamed the Starlite Drive-In in 1955.
