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.
My great aunt was a member so as a child I wound up over there more than once with a miniature tie on. Blah. East Lake had summer camps a great pool and a golf course. Better.
