Imagine , if you will, these pics were all taken in the same town. Would the discussion go like " I was thinkin' I could hit the drive in Car wash (Pic #1), then come and get you and we could maybe go downtown to the cafe then some dancin' or go shootin' (Pic #3) and if that don't suit we could just go to the drive in coffee shop and enjoy the the individual air conditioned car service (whatever that is). Its right across from the Hotel that sells Drugs (Pic#5)

I follow you here Dave, but I am curious about the Blue Onion claim, Pls explain - "Individual Air-Conditioned car service".

Well, Bad, not too sure about the name or the air conditioning thing. I'm guessing they called it the "blue onion" after a breakfast of edibles they bought at the Drug Hotel. As far as the air conditioning thing its probably based on opening 2 or all of your car windows so you'd get a cool breeze. I wonder , does the place still exist?

Here's a little more research on the Blue Onion. I think it was a chain but will look more as to whether it is still operating.


Blue Onion Drive-In, 2100 Fremont St, c. 1958

The drive-in opened just before the adjacent Blue Angel Motel, each sharing a Fremont & Charleston entrance. The first photo is taken on Fremont. A similar arrow sign appeared on the Charleston side of the motel. Unknown photographer.

“my dad’s restaurant … 365 inside seating, 73 lanes of parking for cars, each [with] their own air conditioning for the summer, and heating for the winter … Friday and Saturday nights every lane was triple parked, we had several off-duty police officers controlling the traffic, it was that busy.” - Steven Longmire
