friday night at the bridge drive-in

• 16 comments •


There's so much going on lately and the two of us are feeling more than a little overwhelmed. 
Last night, we took a break to hang out at the Bridge Drive-In (BDI), a local retro ice cream parlor.


While parking, we were entertained by this man in the parking lot, cranking out tunes on an accordion:

The BDI is situated on the banks of the Red River. 
The parlor's namesake is a walking bridge over the river that connects to the BDI parking lot.

The bridge opened in 1912 as a vehicular bridge. 
It has since been made into a walking bridge, providing views of passing boats, among other things.


Too many choices:

We got a root beer float and a dipped cone. 
The ice cream was nothing special, but it was a fun distraction from our 'to-do' list before leaving.
