This reminds me of Me and the A**hole neighbor that would call the cops on me every week for working on my cars. He'd tell the cops I was running a bodyshop.
The noisy neighbor's name was McDermont, he was a drunk. He'd sit upstar, peek out his window, drinking vodka all day and call the cops on all the neighbor kids, even for playing basketball in our driveway. If you parked any where near the curb in front of his house he'd turn his sprinklers on your car and call the cops

Still around. At one time boasted as being the world's largest drive-in with 9 screens & able to hold 3000 cars.

I never went there, but that was always my hope at the Pontiac Drive-In. Tell my date that we should get comfortable and wait while the rest of the pack rushes to the exit.

didn't you guys hate it when 5 minutes before the end, about a 3rd of the crowd would fire up & try to exit early?

grrrr...

 

What could possibly go wrong here. LOL!!! Yeah, that's safe.

I used to drool over this every summer. It was still there up to 10 years ago.
Huge, and very impressive in person. It blew my 10 year old mind in '57.

 

P.G. County, MD. Kinda rural in '52. It was home to the former Beltsville Speedway as well as the former Laurel Speedway, and the famed Dorsey Speedway was only a couple miles outside of the county. Now, It's one of the richest counties in the nation and congested as can be.

 

Took me 5 years to get here and read/watch/look at all of this. Just amazing!
