What’s really unique is that the marquee sign still operates as advertisements for the Arcadia Theatre right after closure despite the drive-in itself closed after the 1986 season.
A more accurate address for this theater is now 38 PA-660, Mansfield, PA 16933. Now East Resources. This is not in Wellsboro.
Please update.

“Y DRIVE-IN east of Wellsboro took its name from the Y-shaped intersection of US 6 and PA Route 660 that it sat against. Route 660 was the original alignment of US 6 until the current road was built between Mansfield and Whitneyville in 1941. Larry Woodin opened the Y Drive opened at the intersection 11 years later. Woodin also owned the Acadia Theater in downtown Wellsboro. Movies lit up the night time sky at the Y until 1986.”
