“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.”

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.

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.
