The 4th Street Drive-In was St. Petersburg’s first drive-in and it opened with much fanfare on January 23, 1941, with Jack Benny in "Buck Benny Rides Again" being the first movie. The drive-in seemed to disappear from the movie listings sometime between 1955 and 1956. The property has since been redeveloped and there is no trace of this theater whatsoever.

Andy, it parked 400 cars and was owned by Flordia Theatres.
That’s Florida State Theaters.
Need more info and photos.
Enjoy the new pictures…
Thanx hispeed54! This is amazing. At first glance I thought this was the Hillsboro D/I in Tampa. The marquee, entrance layout, and screen tower are identical although the width on this screen looks to be just slightly less wide than the Hillsboro. The “Drive-In Theatre” neon target sign is also identical although the target design is more pronounced on this screen.
You are welcome Nick…I had to check myself, I thought maybe I uploaded the wrong pictures!! Same basic design.
