You could add the Jet Drive Inn in Lancaster to this...there's a pretty good Google view of where it used to be (Search for 399 West Ave. L in Lancaster...the overhead view clearly shows where the screen and projection/snack bar building was, and the street view shows a portion of the wall that surrounded the place. The main building burned down in the 1990's)
