For years the hoity-toitys up at the Piedmont Driving Club would not admit Jews, so they said the heck with them and started the Standard Club

I could never understand. The Piedmont Driving Club had tennis courts and a great supper club. The Standard Club had a golf course. WHO was having more fun? LOL!

My dad always called them the "Piedmont Drive-In Club".

Before the Downtown Connector was built, there was a rib shack owned by a black guy just west of where the 14th Street bridge is today. He called it the "Piedmont Drive-In Club".

Rumor hath it that the Downtown Connector was routed specifically to take out the Drive-In Club . . . these social climbers just have no sense of humor . . .

My family have never been joiners, except for professional associations. My grandparents refused to let my mother make her debut at the PDC, they did not want her running with that crowd.
