I'm sitting at a popular burger drive-in in Seattle, just finished a cheeseburger and fries. I'm people watching now. People coming and going with their Dicks deluxe and shakes, hamburgers and cokes, fries, etc. An old man hunched over super horribly, an obese woman who looks like every step causes her pain, two teenagers dressed sexy but not confident enough to pull it off, a middle aged man who just loves his burger and doesn't care... I love watching people and being reminded of how we're all here, just doing our thing. ❤
Do you find yourself wondering what the story is for these people or do you create something for them? That can be a lot of fun.
I really like sitting in an air conditioned mall and just observing everyone, and yes the food court is a good spot
I LOVE places like this!! Not just for their contribution to American popular culture, but as a communal hub for everyone who frequents it. Not to mention the atmosphere in which dramas unfold, friendships and romances are forged, and awesome (if not nutritionally optimal) food is consumed--truly universal rituals. A lover of all-things drive-in since I was a child--one of my jobs for the past decade has been at the drive-in theater my parents took me to as a kid--my ultimate road trip would include visits to as many of these neighborhood wonderlands as possible. I've always felt at home with an open grill, parked cars, & a lot full of people.
@pepperjones I've bookmarked the website. Looks like a great place to grab a burger & watch life unfold--starlit skies and/or double features optional.
@pepperjones I know. I was lumping them together under the same canopy of drive-in culture.
People watching can be a lot of fun. You can learn a few things about people in general that way.
@pepperjones Yes, I wholeheartedly agree.
People watching is something my mother taught me when l was a kid.
@pepperjones It is also kind of entertaining.
People watching is fascinating. I wonder what people would write about me when I'm going about my business!
I always try and remember that we are just here. Perspective is the key. Nothing is normal I hate when I start thinking normal.
my “ normal” is not “Average”
