17....I guess that makes me older than dirt!

Midland is in the process of building a drive-in right now...should be ready to go in the next few weeks!

I remembered 12 of them. Actually I still once in a while eat at cafes that have table juckboxes. I also wondered if they met drive in movies or places where you eat sort of like sonic burgers. And even as late as the mid 80s I once had to be on a party line.

i remember people getting on to me and my brothers for listening in on the phone conversations while we were on a party line. as for the drive-inns, i remember going to the movies and drive-inn restaurants. Not including Sonic, there are still a few in Corpus Christi. the most known is Snapkas which is about as authentic as you can get and has been around for decades..

I still go to some local stores and they sell candy cigarets.
