Click here to see the 1984 USGS map depicting the abandoned drive-in and surrounding area.
Photo taken August 2001, from the shoulder of I-81.
And here's the Starlite from around 1975, when despite a decade and a half of dormancy the decay wasn't nearly as pronounced. Thanks to Richard Webb for this photo.
