The Revere Drive-In on Squire Road was operating prior to 1955, when it was listed as being operated by Michael Redstone & Daytz Theatre Enterprises. I remember driving in my father’s car (1974) on Route 60 in Revere and you could see the movies from the road. A few year later, my grandma and I would pack up her 1963 Buick and head out to the flea market at 4:30 in the morning.

Mr. Almanac,Was Paul Revere ever there?

TLSLOEWS,My home address is on CAPRI THEATRE site in Augusta.If you send me a letter with the Drive-ins you are interested in I will go to OFFICE MAX and make copies from the book. Or anything LOEWS related.
No not that Paul Revere!And so you live at the CAPRI THEATRE?
No Just discussing theatres with Scott.He thought the CAPRI THEATRE h ere was first run movies,not the Triple X theatre it was.And Paul Revere and the Raiders weren’t that bad.“HUNGRY” was a pretty good song.
Mike, thanks for checking it out for me – i ’ll have to keep looking!
I have actually tracked down the elusive second Revere Drive-in. After some research, I have discovered that the Suffolk Downs Drive-In Theatre was at 1375 Bennington Rd, and is exactly where I thought it once was – it is now Belle Isle Marsh Reservation. It appears to have been opened for a period between 1950-1970, and possibly has an East Boston address rather than a Revere address, which is news to me, although the Suffolk Downs T station is also listed as East Boston, so it’s possible – they both straddle the town lines, I guess. But hey at least I know my mother-in-law was right now!:–)

The address for the Revere Drive-In was
565 Squire Road.
565 Squire Rd, Revere, MA 02151
The above address will map accurately to the location of the drive-in, which is currently occupied by Showcase Cinemas.
The site referenced is actually the second location of the Revere Drive-In. Originally located south of Beach St. where Super Stop & Shop is now located. You can see this clearly in the 1955 HistoricAerials.com view http://www.historicaerials.com/aerials.php?scale=1.2041373500713E-05&lat=42.43114318119&lon=-71.0208800669299&year=1955
