WHEN THE DRIVE-THRU WAS NEW


We take a lot of things for granted today that were a big deal back when they were first introduced. Take for instance, the institution of the drive-thru window. Without hardly thinking of it, you can pick up everything from a meal to prescriptions, do your banking, and lots of other stuff without every leaving your digitally air-conditioned car.
