A ghostly apparition appears in the parking lot at Dick’s Drive In in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle, WA. Legendary around Seattle, Dick’s Drive In is the quintessential classic hamburger joint. Late nights, people flock to all of the six locations of Dick’s around the Seattle area. Their motto: ‘Where taste has been the difference since 1954!’ Opening their first drive-in near the University of Washington in 1954, their menu was and is simple. Four burgers, ‘Deluxe, Special, Cheese and Regular,’ fries, shakes, floats, cones and soda pop, that’s it. Today the most expensive burger is $2.70 and a fry is $1.50. In the 1960s when my husband was in high school, he bought cheese burgers for 19¢, and a fries for 11¢, sounds amazing doesn’t it? Here I’ve caught a car pulling out of Dick’s long before the long lines form later in the evening when hunger overcomes those out for an evening of activities of various sorts, its movement creating a ghostly shadow.

i like your ‘ghost’. :)
Oh that’s cool!
Wonderful lighting at night. Best regards.
Strange things go on when the lights go down.
Cool shot.The burgers and fries sound really good just before supper.
I didn’t see it at first but now I do. Super Cool!
“Ghost car” is what we used to call law enforcement in their unmarked vehicles. Do they still use that term, or am i dating myself? Nice catch here Madge.
Never heard of that term… so I can’t say about dating yourself… lol! ;-)
Awesome! Love the neon.
Very cool capture, Madge! =)
Love the neon and night shot
Took me a moment to find the ghost… nicely done!
My goodness, Madge! What a fine photo!
One of those 1950’s dream angels… cool. :)
love the ghost car and that sign and also the graffiti on the roof, so beautiful.
Very cool photo without the ghost, but with the ghost it’s really special.
