Bunny thought we should try the Cardinal Drive-In (sadly, no website),
a traditional drive-in burger joint just a few blocks north of
The Sunset Motel.
We arrived to a nearly empty lot (amazing,
but we did arrive significantly before noon so maybe that helped).
Now,
you would think that being at a drive-in,
we would be eating in the car,
but that would be too cliché—instead we ate in the dining room.
But to enmesh you in the whole drive-in theme,
each booth had a phone where you could place your orders.
The clerk could barely hear us through the device though,
and instead walked over to our booth to take our order.
The food was quite good but I was rather surprised that in this day and age,
there still existed a business that refused to accept plastic money.
How authentically traditional (not to mention archaic but I digress).
But other than that, eating in and ordering face-to-face,
our experience at the Cardinal Drive-In was exactly like eating at a drive-in burger joint.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
