Anyone who’s read this blog for very long knows that I always try to look around behind these old buildings. Sometimes that’s where the good stuff is.

So, this chair. I found it behind that drive in from yesterday. The first thing I noticed was how the woven stripes in the upholstery weathered differently – half of the fabric was in relatively good condition, while the other half was just threads.  The second thing I noticed was that hole in the wall to the right of the chair. For some reason, that hole seems…ominous.

Look! A deserted drive-in.

From the state of the paving in the parking lot (it was completely gone) and those trees growing from what would have been paved at some point, I guess the place has been out of business for a while.
