Mary M Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Y'all, when I was a teen, drive-in restaurants (using that name very loosely) were a thing. In Oak Cliff (where I started life), one such place was Sivil's Drive-In. I have some fond memories and I also have some memories I best keep to myself. Attaching a link to a You Tube video I created a while back. The music I selected was just perfect for it, dontchathink?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDCchOjibtY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traces Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Love it, Mary! I've heard many things about Sivil's over the years. I believe the video of the car hops with all their crazy hats etc... was actually filmed after Sivils had closed. For us it was the Sonic Drive-In in Temple. Round and round and up and down 57th we went. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traces Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Traces of Texas reader Elaine Ward went on a date at Sivil's Drive-In in Dallas on July 3, 1957 and kept the menu. 63 years later she sent it to me so that I could share it with y'all. Everything about this is outstanding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
