About 30 years ago, a friend who lived in the area took me to that 
site.  We did find some of the tower foundations and some broken 
insulators.  It was on the NorthWest side of John F Kennedy Boulevard.

I just took a look at a street map of the area and it looks like it's now a 
housing development.  Might be worth a visit anyway, just in case some of 
it was preserved.
