That sounds wonderful!! I remember the server at Greene's having a great personality and having so much fun!!

I am 67. So I remember going to both as a little girl. My Dad's red truck had a running board and the servers would meet you at the entrance, jump on the running board and ride to the parking place, then take your order. Wonderful memories. Going out to eat now, wish I could go to Greene's Drive In and get a "thing." In case no one remembers, a "thing" was a very thick chocolate shake. Liz

Right. I think the Calhoun is just about where it was at the Archibald Butt bridge. The Red Pig was on Hwy 1, I think. How quickly we forget.

Another one I would love to find a photo of is the old King Burger. This was my Dad's resturant back when I was only about 8 so that would have been about 1963. Tim Drudis/Drudus was the owner at one time I think. Rose Discover Yahoo! Use Yahoo! to plan a weekend, have fun online and more. Check it out! http://discover.yahoo.com/

Margie, I did a search and could not find anything on the net. You might be able to find one, if you have the time, at the library if you aren't subscribed to the Augusta Chronicle site. There should be a lot of pictures around. Good luck.
