Sad, sad news of yet another classic drive-in getting driven out in the name of progress:
Ralph and Mary Lou Fonzo, Rick's [Drive-In] owners, have been notified the property has been sold to make way for a condo development. Their customers are not happy. The Web site, www.ricksdrivein.com, was set up to tell the public about the situation and ask their help in finding Rick's a new Pasadena location.
The joint will be open until sometime in November, according to some culinary student on the scene in this article.
