Current photos of old drive ins ( restaurants that is).

Earlier today I had the idea for this thread. Now don’t get me wrong, I love old photos of these things, however upon seeing them I have to wonder what they look like now or if they still exist. With that said, I give you exhibit A. I apologize for the OT vehicle in the photo, some people have no class.
