Located north of town on US 17. By 1956 it was operated by Floyd Theaters. The ticket booth is still intact. Address approximated from Google Maps.

Bowling Green is the next town north. Wauchula is the largest city in the county.
I visited the property today (06/06/10) and walked around getting a few pictures:
Front of the screen remnants
Back of the screen remnants
Most likely the original marquee

2719 U.S. 17, Bowling Green, FL 33834
The above address maps accurately to the location of the drive-in, which is visible on Google Earth with present day imagery. The address currently in the heading is off by about 1,000 feet to the south.
The road which runs behind the drive-in, parallel to US 17, is called Theater Rd, probably as a fond reminder of when all the neighborhood kids used to sneak in from the back of the theatre.
The address for this drive-in was 2719 Florida 35, Bowling Green, FL 33834.
Right address #, wrong Hwy #. U.S. 17 probably didn’t exist when this was built.
