Distelfink Drive-In Sign, Route 15, Gettysburg, Pa.


The lovely neon sign at the now-closed Distelfink Drive-In restaurant near Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, is sadly in need of repair (see below for another view showing the other side of the Darkened Distelfink Drive-In Sign).
An article about the drive-in (see Lillian Reed, "Fate of Gettysburg's Distelfink Drive-In in Question Once Again," in the Hanover, Pa., Evening Sun, June 4, 2013) revealed that the original owner of the restaurant, Cecil Sandoe, still lives in the brick house that's visible across the intersection.
Sandoe operates a business that rents out storage units (visible to the left of the house) and is saddened by the decline of the drive-in over the years. "We wish we had moved because we have to see that it's not getting taken care of," he said, according to the article. “I do have regrets about selling it, but, at the time, my children were too young to take it over."
Check out the Google Maps Street View of the drive-in, too.
