5000500050005000200050025
Location: Parts Unknown		Some great shots there !

That 59 Dodge wagon at the Dari-Snax drive-in looks to be a red car with roof rack and dog
dish/blackwall charm. Very unusual !

The construction site is just how I remember this stuff. The old Packard keeps soldiering on.
Amazing, but that car is only 20 years old if that 57 Dodge is new ! And the sedan delivery and
panel van out back .... those were owned by every plumber, electrician, carpenter, and handyman
where I grew up, often times with the operator's name and contact info artfully lettered on the door
or rear panel behind the door glass and back doors/tailgate. Too dammed cool !

As a kid, my friends and I loved these places ... all the freshly turned dirt piles were the best
for building our Tonka cities in, and the nearby construction debris piles provided all sorts of fun
materials to build with. All the while, the scene you see there played out around us. Those were
good times !

The shots taken out of the cave and the GA tourist town remind me a lot of childhood road trips
that form a large part of my mental illness for old cars and backroad driving. Spent a lot of time
seeing stuff just like this around central California in the early 60's. More good times !
