This place use to show pornos in the 70’s on Saturday nights. Then they stopped only after a few years. I remeber it was a big no no. Those were different times. Gotta love the good old days.

The Rustic Drive-in was located on Mt Pleasant Road just past the Westmoreland County Fairgrounds on the opposite side of the road approximately ¼ mile. There is nothing left on the site.
There’s a great photo of the Rustic marquee in the book from the Images Of America series: “Norvelt: A New Deal Subsistence Homestead”.
this wasn’t called the Odin Drive-in.I have that listed in my 1956 Motion Picture Alamanac.
This one was near the intersection of Mt. Pleasant Road (SR 2021) and Brinkerton Road.
In 1967 I found it listed as being in Norvelt.
Could use an address or crossroad, more info and photos always welcome.
