Jake's Drive-In

Three strands of Christmas tree lights dangled from the edge of the porch roof down at Jake's Drive-In. The only car in the parking lot was the candy apple red SS 396 Chevrolet Chevelle parked sideways with one white hood-stripe showing towards Church Street. Empty Dixie Cups bounced across the asphalt. They danced over the splattered red and green reflections while "Satisfaction" blared from the cheap outdoor metallic speaker. It was Sunday night.
