California 1950's, Beany’s Drive - Long Beach

Looks like it helped to pioneer fast food, drive up windows, and honking at cars or people.

Throw in a Gilley's from a couple of decades later.



Live stuff



I suppose there are still similar places around today.

In Vegas, with modifications.

Some guy's movie stuff

Someone made it a drive in.

Monetizing entertainment has come a long way since then.

Gonna erase this Gilley's with some Cars from about the same time.

RIP

Country star Mickey Gilley, whose namesake Texas honky-tonk inspired the 1980 film “Urban Cowboy” and a nationwide wave of Western-themed nightspots, has died. He was 86.

Gilley died Saturday in Branson, Missouri, where he helped run the Mickey Gilley Grand Shanghai Theatre. He had been performing as recently as last month, but was in failing health over the past week.
