The drive-in is visible on Google Earth using historic aerial imagery.
There is another drive-in nearby at W 10th St & Avenue U, Riviera Beach, FL 33404 which I have not been able to name as yet.
Here is a 1968 aerial photo of the unnamed drive-in, courtesy of HistoricAerials.com.
Possible names are Riviera Drive-In and Roosevelt Drive-Ins, from Mike Rivest’s site, but I have no way of knowing which is the correct name for that location. Hopefully, someone local to Riviera Beach can provide the answer, or one of the Florida guys can hit up the library and dig it up from newspaper microfilm.
There are pictures of what remains of this theater on its gallery page at Drive-ins.com: http://www.drive-ins.com/gallery/fltbeac
Must have opened after 1956,I have a BOULEVARD DRIVE-in THEATRE there.
