My grandfather OWNED the Boro Drive-in. My very first job was selling tickets and working in the concession stand for my grandpa.
I would love any copies of photos or memorabilia from the Boro Drive-in. He also owned the Quonset Drive-in too.
The Motion Picture Herald wrote in 1952 that Meyer Stanzler was the Boro’s operator. Full text on Internet Archive.
