This section is devoted to drive-ins, take-out stands, soda parlors, unusual restaurants, etc. as represented in postcard images and photos from my travels. The selections are purely subjective. My emphasis is on the architecture and signage rather than the food. For more formal analysis, restaurant reviews, etc., see my Links & Books page listed below. If you are looking for something specific, there's a search box below. Enjoy!
