I Wish We Had A Drive Thru Convenient Store

Lazy?  In a hurry?  Alcoholic?  I'm curious to know the 'real' reason why drive-thru convenience stores were invented.  I have a sneaky suspicion that alcohol is the first and foremost item on the store manager's inventory checklist.  With names such as Brew Thru and Beer Barn, it makes me wonder...

I found this interesting website that highlights photos of drive-thru stores throughout America... http://www.beerbarns.com/

I was 18 years old when I had my first experience with a drive-thru store.  I was visiting friends in unknown territory in Chillicothe, Ohio.  I was driving and the passenger was a native of Ohio.  We had driven up from Virginia Beach.  While driving down a main street, I was told to turn right.  Right into a building!  I hesitated, put my foot on the brake, and said "do you think I'm a freakin' idiot?  I'm not driving straight through that building!"  Needless to say, it took quite a bit more convincing but I eventually drove through.

In 2012 (BC-before cancer), Lucia and I visited Warren, Ohio to attend a friend's wedding and the faint memories of my drive-thru experience came rushing back as we drove past them.

I prefer not to be defined by cancer, but my life has certainly changed because of it.
Today, the simplicity of life and small moments of joy is what drives me.
Thanks for following my journey!
