at the drive in.
The bbq at Sheila's was nice. She lives way out in the county. Small town living at its best. It was fun. We played croquet and badminton, and I ate way too much food...but it was all delicious.
When we left at around 5pm, Felicia had to pee really bad and Allen was tired, but Katherine followed my suggestion of, "Dude, let's check it out!"
It was awesome. We wanted to buy the property to fix it up. But later in the evening after researching, we found out that two guys wanted to save the drive-in back in 2002, but apparently there is a church and a beverage center on either side of the property, and they complained to the council that it would be disruptive to god and for the people trying to turn in to buy beer. The business guys couldn't get around the zoning laws, so the project was defeated. Now, as of 2005, the drive-in is subject to become a housing development.
You know, it makes me angry when developers destroy history. Why can't people just buy an old house and fix it up? Is it totally necessary to build a shitty McMansion?
I am reminded of the documentary series narrated by Ed Norton, Strange Days on Planet Earth. I think that the series should be mandatorily worked into school curricula.
(sigh.) It really does make me upset. Look at that solid structure. Look at what we're losing.
There are a few more photos of the drive-in on flickr.
