i read an article in the vancouver sun today that says that wally's burgers is closing down at the end of march.
wally's has been a kingsway landmark since the 60's and is one of vancouvers last \"true\" drive-in burger joints. it used to be (and still kind of is) a hot spot for automotive enthusiasts to go and park, eat and bench race. the dvkk used to hold monthly meets there and i've been there many times where there has been some hot american iron parked out front.
the article in the paper said that it will most likely be torn down and developed into residential units. it also said that the owner/community doesnt want anything fast food or automotive related to take it's place.
so here's my proposal.....on the 2nd and last sunday of this month at lunch time (noon-ish), we should all drive our acvws down to wally's and partake in a little parking, eating and bench racing. this will be the last month to enjoy this activity at this historic venue, and the weather has been co-operative.....so lets get some people together and have some fun.
sound off on ideas and feedback about dates and times, and feel free to post up some wally's stories and pics from the past. B)
