Ballad's Drive-In is closing.

Looks like this might be the last week to stop in on an Oklahoman tradition. 

I thought the existence of Pauls Valley was due to Pecan Pie.

No, the existence of Pauls Valley is due to the guy who's name is on the water tower.

Why doesn't a business broker (like me) get a chance to confidentially sell these "traditions?" Must be no traditional profit being made here anymore.

Sucks.. Mr. Ballard is as fine of a man as you will ever meet. He is a former WWII pilot and loved to share his stories. It's also some of the best drive-in food ever.

Somewhere around 1991 people decided that Sonic and Braums were better than the local guy... morons.

Only two more days of Ballards goodness before it's gone forever!
