Got this pic Monday.
Not a great photo, photographically.
First of all, too much parking lot in foreground that I often find as a detraction in photos. But in this case is on purpose.
Butch Beach Burrito in town here near the beach/pier (presently closed for the season).
When we moved here (1979) it was an A&W Root Beer drive-in, with the order-from-your-car menu and speaker at each parking space (or maybe every other parking space, so driver side one space and passenger side next space).
And they brought out your order and hung the tray on your car window/door.
Now Can somewhat see the base and the conduit of one of the menu/order/speaker stations making its presence known from under a layer of ashpalt there right next to the GK.
And, standing there, if then look around can see some of the others (to a lesser extent). So, I find that "historic".
Again, not that interesting of a photo to the observer.
But for me, this place brings up a memory, in that, when it was an A&W Drive In, we were there with our baby Justin, (so, 1980) and we bought a A&W Baby Mug. ANd we laughed about him not having a "silver spoon in his mouth", but, hey, now he has a A&W Baby Mug.
Seems like a minor thing to have remembered. Must have been the other occurance/situation of more significance at the time, like thinking of what the future holds for Baby Justin and us.
