Mary M Posted February 13, 2023 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
Traces Posted February 15, 2023 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

Traces Posted February 16, 2023 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
