Lost in the 1950s- The Cherry Bowl Drive In
[More photos at website]
The Cherry Bowl Drive In... 
is located about an hour south of Traverse City on US-31, just outside of the small town of Honor [Michigan]. It is proudly ‘family owned and operated since 1953′. A trip to The Cherry Bowl is like stepping back into the 1950s.

Records that nobody will probably ever see again.
I spent a few hours and came up with these that run the gamut from "I know every song on the LP" to "I seem to recall that album cover."
If any of these ring a bell, let me know:
1950s BUMP
Those are prety risque album covers! Who approved that one with the naked lady wrapped in celophane and featuring Pat Boone, the Lennon Sisters, and Lawrence Welk? That does not look like something any of those artists would approve.
I know exactly where this is.. I have been thru Honor many a times going from Kingsley to Traverse city up the US31, however I remember Honor more so for its Catholic church,
The 1950s...when the chrome was thick and the women were straight.
Michael Savage
I don’t believe one person or one family could have all those records.

Thanks so much for posting this -- it really is a pleasure and a hoot!!! Who would ever connect Jack Webb with "romantic reflections," or even knew that Robert Conrad sang!!! {^) And I love the Pat Boone Christmas album ... with the nude lady wraped in celophane!!! Wilder and Wilder! And what a VERY COOL jazz collection. I drool over quite a few of them.
Dare I axe? “We like Johnny” who?

and featuring Pat Boone, the Lennon Sisters, and Lawrence Welk? That does not look like something any of those artists would approve.I recall that from one Christmas we had in Nashville, 56 or was it 57? My Mom got it as a gag gift for my Dad who loved the Mills Brothers. When she told the story as the years passed, "George looked at that cover all morning and never noticed once the Mills Brothers were featured singers!"
My Dad got my Mom a mink stole that Christmas and she wore it over her negligee while cooking breakfast--
I mean ... it has “Dracula Cha Cha — the Transylvania Polka,” right underneath “Clint Eastwood sings Cowboy Favorites.” Makes me miss vinyl!
When I went to college in the late ‘70s in Lexinton, VA (VMI), I remember that there was an old drive-in movie theater. What surprised me was that it was build into a hill, so that cars would park at an elevation, so that the screen wouldn’t be blocked.
Well, I just went to google earth, and discovered that the drive-in was still there! I’m glad that some things have not changed!
Well, thank you for sharing that!
