One of my local public libraries had this book and I checked it out. Yes, one of the chapters is about drive-in theatres. I liked that aerial photo of the Post Oak taken in the early 1950s. It said that is where the Williams Tower is today. But there's one thing I read that I never knew before. It said that one of the things which led to the demise of DIs was when Daylight Savings Time started in 1967. I thought that we have always had DST. I read somewhere that DST was conceived by Benjamin Franklin as a joke.

Oh, how I miss the good ol' days of the Southwest Conference when Arkansas was the only non-Texas team in it. No matter which college one attended, they knew they would meet the same teams again the next year. It was a friendly rivalry, before the problems that SMU had.

It sounds like "a piece of the Rock" will soon be "pieces of rock."

I don't know which Busch Gardens this was at:

I found a couple of photos:

The Tommie Vaughn Ford commercials sounded like the commercials for Chuck Davis Chevrolet: low, evenly-stressed baritone/bass-voiced jingle singers. Do you remember that one, too?

I couldn't find Morton's, but I did find Tom's: Here's Lance:

This one is in Toledo, Ohio. Was it a chain restaurant?

Yes, I saw a show on the ID Network about the Corll-Henley murders. That was before cell phones. Henley said to his mother: "I killed Dean!" To say that Corll was sick would be a gross understatement. The fact that a man in his 30s would hang out with only teenagers should have raised someone's eyebrows even back then. On 48 Hours (I think that was the show) it had a segment on Henley in prison. It said that he was a model prisoner. Does anyone know if he's ever come up for possible parole?

It might be. Maybe someone will tell us. Someday I'd like to "make a loop" and drive through the Washburn Tunnel, then cross back over on the Lynchburg Ferry.

I read that the casket that was obtained in Dallas for JFK cost $3950. That was a good chunk of change back in 1963 for a box to be buried in. I'm glad I've donated my body to medical research.
