Question
A certain California drive-thru during its almost-90-year span of operation, before a snowstorm in the late Sixties put it out of commission...

Hi...This Q is 1 of a hundred in a contest. Having a real hard time with this one...Thank you for any help...Pam

Answer
Hi Pam,

Let's see if we can brainstorm a bit here... something that was put out of commission in the sixties, and was around for almost 90 years. That would put its start in the 1870's. Obviously, not the drive-through we are used to. I wonder if it could be a highway, a trail, a rail line, a covered bridge, or even a drive-through tree.

I couldn't find any history of anything that was closed by a snowstorm, but 1967-68 was a record year for rain and snow...

Hope this helps,


Steve
