Sometimes life throws you for a loop and some things have to be put on hold. This week is one of those times for me.

I have many subjects I want to pursue. See if one catches your eye and send me a message.

Frances Virginia Tearoom: I don’t remember if I went there or not. It is possible I did as a little girl with my mother or grandmother. I have my mom’s Frances Virginia Tearoom cookbook and treasure it greatly.

Who remembers the putt putt course that was on Shallowford Road between Chamblee Tucker Road and Buford Highway? I went there quite a few times as a teenager, because it was close to our house. I don’t remember it as the type of course that had animals, clown heads, and other unusual designs for putt putt play.

I’ve heard about a drive-in movie theater on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard, near Chamblee Plaza or across the road? I don’t think I ever went there, but would love to hear some memories, such as what movies did you see there. The main drive-in theatre I remember in north DeKalb county was the North I-85 drive-in.

I’ll be back soon with one of these stories or another local history story. Write me to me through the Contact Us button or email pasttensega@gmail.com.
