This building felt old when I first visited it 40 years ago. At the time it was called Top Burger. The burgers were large and had a pleasant amount of black pepper on them. It was right around the corner from my grandmother's home. I think the first burger I ever had came from this drive-in.

 

A lot has changed in 40 years. The town has become more diverse but also more run down in places. All the growth is happening on the far side of town. It's difficult to see the town as it was for all the pawn shops and pay day loan outfits on the main drag.

 

I'm glad that this old drive-in is still around, reborn as a taqueria . Places like this remind me that there's still stuff to love about my home town.
