Boxoffice, Feb. 23, 1970: “Highway 90 Drive-In at nearby Baldwin was relinquished Wednesday (18) by its long-time owner and operator Robert R. Totman. The airer was acquired by Harry Clark and Dave Roper, both of Jacksonville”
Boxoffice, March 30, 1970: “Harry C. Clark and David E. Roper of Jacksonville purchased the Baldwin 90 Drive-In from R. E. Totman, effective February 17. Totman had operated the drive-in for 21 years. The new owners have had many years experience in exhibition as well as in other businesses in the film industry.”
The drive-in was still intact in 1970, although I cannot say if it was open.
By 1982, the projection booth was gone and two years later the entire drive-in was demolished.
Today, the property is overgrown with trees. If there is any trace of the drive-in remaining, it is underneath the tree canopy. However, the entrance road still exists although there is no evidence of any gravel or pavement left.
Just across the street from 15629 W Beaver St
Jacksonville, Florida.
This drive-in’s entrance was located at U.S. Hwy 90 & Yellow Water Rd with the theatre located further north. Approx. address 725 U.S. Hwy 90.

The above address will map accurately to the location of the drive-in, which was on the north side of Lake City Rd. The drive-in is vaguely visible on Google Earth using historic aerial imagery.
