"How old would ya be, if ya didn't know how old you was?" - Satchel Paige.
My purpose in creating this blog, Meridiana, is to identify and capture an essence of those people, places and things that have contributed and, in some cases, continue to contribute meaning, texture and enrichment to the lives of those of us who grew up in Meridian, Mississippi during the ‘50s 'n' ‘60s.
And, maybe i'll add a few surprises, too.

Meridian and Royal Drive-Ins – R.I.P.
At their peak, which most experts agree was in 1958, there were almost 5000 drive-ins. Today, there are only 372 drive-in theatres still open in the US.
To capture the memories of drive-ins, I think we need a little Bob Seger music, don't you?
