Looks like folks get there early in Texas. Last one in Bako closed about 15 years ago.

Re: Drive Inn

The one in my home town closed before I was born.  I remember seeing where it used to be as a kid, before it was turned into, wait for it, a Ford dealership.

Re: Drive Inn

We still have one of the last ones here a few miles away. It's funny that the Amish brings a radio and parks there buggy's out along the road and watches for free.

I thought the Amish didn't do electrons.  I do know they cheat by using a diesel powered hydraulic pump to run their furniture factories...at least the one I visited in MO...but I always wondered exactly how they started that big CAT diesel.

We also still have a drive in theater.  it's the Saturday night gathering place every year following our local car show.

Re: Drive Inn

The young one's do when when Ma & Pa not around, some even have a car stash somewhere and wear regular cloths.  Saturday night's one or two will hang around a store looking for someone to get them a carton of beer. In large gatherings they need to put a number on there horse and buggy's because all look the same.

Re: Drive Inn

Yes drive ins, large trunks  and foggie windows. We had 3 in Portland and one out of town that used to charge by the car load. They were good times


Slammed Big Blue, ran over the varmints that messed with the Stang. Now all is good in the NW

Re: Drive Inn

The Amish aren't exactly a cohesive group.  There are considerable regional and community variations.  Some communities allow cell phones, others only land lines, others land lines in sort of an outhouse by the road, and some none whatsoever.  Power usage is similar.  Working in the "English" world they use power tools, but usually not in their own communities.  They aren't prohibited from making money, and often this is a driving factor in terms of what's allowed and what isn't. 

The image of Amish as super pious is also wrong.  They brew and consume beer, and throw some raging drunken barn dances. 

Many Amish leave their communities for the English world during Rumspringa, a time in late adolescence.  The idea is that they explore the rest of the world before deciding to commit or not commit to being baptized into the Amish faith.  In recent tears a lot of communities have experienced decline as many have decided not to return after Rumspringa.  Some communities shun former members who don't come back, others don't, again, it varies.  I have friends who grew up Amish and did not choose that way of life.  They still see their families often.

Re: Drive Inn

Yes they have different way's   as to what order. The bishop rules. I have worked with some, friends or not,  we the English will always be the outsider. The phone reminds me of one I worked with,  had a larger than normal dog haus for the phone. The dog didn't answer, but knew where to find someone that would.
