I have a couple of questions: Do you know what the connotation of the "XXX" name for the drive-in was? It couldn't have been related to something free-spirited like the mural at Fergusson's above, since that kind of "rating" did not exist in the 40s. It could not have been alcohol-related either, since it was a drive-in....? Also, reading your story again, when did Fergusson's close exactly? - and did it sit there untouched til McDonald's tore it down 5 years ago?
