Salvation in the form of The Sonic comes to Salem


The Sonic "America's Drive-In" landed in Salem. Sweet french toast sticks and chicken fingers!

The Sonic plays a large part in the history of my Texas youth. We would "buzz" the Sonic on many a Friday night. We'd pull up to the speaker and in one voice, a small group of boys would sing, "Here is order, four glasses of water."

I hear that traffic was lined up around the block when it opened here. 90 minute waits.

It just shows the depth of the restaurant misery that the citizens of Salem go through on a daily basis when a hamburger shop can tie up traffic for hours. We are a desperate lot.

Thanks goodness for Sonic. Now, please hurry with that order of onion rings.

Yes Violet, they do. Those Cherry Limeades were a frequent source of salvation for me on a hot Texas summer's day.
