Red Rooster Drive In

     Another blast from the past!  In the 1960's and before, I am sure...this was a drive in.  Reminds me of Al's on Happy Days.  It was called the Red Rooster and the sign was shaped like a rooster.  I remember booths around the inside and sitting there getting a hot chocolate once. 


It is a thrift store now, and the rooster, alas gone.
UPDATE~  Found this old photo of the Red Rooster!

    And the Rooster crowed at lunch and dinner time loud enough to hear across town.

    I had been told the rooster crowed, but did not remember it myself!

    I grew up in Tularosa in the 60's. After I got my driver's license, driving to Alamogordo was really a big deal and driving around the Red Rooster was a very cool thing to do. Lots of fond memories!

    I was stationed Holloman AFB in 1963 -1964. lots of us hung out there for fun, good food & picking up drag races. At night with all the neon lights it was like being in a rock n roll movie. Great memories .

    Dad was one of the rocket guys out at Holloman AFB during the mid-fifties. After work he and the others would stop here and grab a bite. While talking they would start writing on the table cloths. Soon everything was covered in classified information. The Red Rooster and the Air Force had a deal: An airman would gather all the classified linen, take it to the base, copy the diagrams, launder it and return it the next day. For a treat they would bring the kids to the restaurant.
