Sketchbook Assignment 3, The Strip: "Glamour Shots"




Starlight Six Drive-In Theatres is south on Moreland Ave on an otherwise zudzu-lined stretch of highway. It is still operating and shows several movies each evening. Sound is, of course, provided by your radio.







The original Krispy Kreme Doughnuts is on Ponce de Leon Avenue at Argonne St. Look for the lit neon "Hot Now!" sign to know when a drive-through is worth it.





The Varsity is more iconic than Atlanta itself, and is celebrating its 80th year in operation. It holds the record for the largest drive-in fast food restaurant in the world. Car culture, indeed.




The Majestic has been "serving food that pleases since 1929." It is open 24 hours and is at Ponce de Leon and N. Highland Ave. Along with the Plaza Theatre, it is in Atlanta's first strip mall with parking in front.
