10065 U.S. 129, Live Oak, FL places it right on the property at least with Google Maps.
Today, an empty building sits on the east side of the property, but most of the drive-in is overgrown with trees. The screens are gone, but the projection booths may or may not be standing.
Last owner was Leonard Vaughn. After he passed away the theatre ceased and stood idle with all equipment intact. The booth for screen 2 was in a small building by itself, There was another drive in listed in 1952 directory named Nova Drive In and was owned by R. E. Cannon. This may have been the same theatre.
Approx. address for this drive-in was 10530 South Ohio Avenue.
This drive-in was open at least as early as 1967, and probably even sooner. The 1969 opening date in the heading is incorrect.

The above address will map accurately to the location of the drive-in. The address in the heading was off to the north by about half a mile.
