Blackwood’s Drive-In

I was ready for nourishment after doubling down on the Kings Mountain Gateway trail.  I had Blackwood’s in my sites for some feasting, and it lived up to the task.  It was a drive-in straight out of the sixties, and I thought I saw Ritchie and the Fonz circling the establishment!  Then it was time to chow, and I got the all the all-the-way tasty jumbo cheeseburger with rings and their signature drink. This was no ordinary drink but a Cherry “Golden Silencer,” which was quite good.  However, it scared the tar out of me when I took off the top to crunch the ice without looking.  I thought I had a mouthful for spiders.  Luckily, it was just cherry stems, and I ate the sweet red stuff up greedily on my return home.  Hey, don’t let this place pass you by while spinning south on I-85.  Worth the trip for sure!
