Highrise Tower Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 I was browsing Ebay for TMC stuff and came across this matchbook for an old drive-in called Dryden Drive-In located at 1818 Dryden Rd. Groceries - Beer - Ice Cream - Crushed Ice. I've never heard of this place. Was it located in the retail strip center (or shopping center) that was located across from the Medical Towers? Is there a date to this business? 1960s I would assume? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 I'm pretty sure this has to be before 1958. That's when the Tidelands Motor Inn was opened on that block.

Here's a 1953 aerial clip of the address. The old Rice stadium, now the Track Stadium, is at the top 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
