He invited me to lunch to meet Voula. He thinks there is a story to tell about this little slice of Americana that opened its doors in 1985 and never changed the calendar.

As we talked, Gladys reached across the table and took Voula’s hand, mesmerized by her sparkling, gold flaked nail polish. “So, pretty,” Gladys said. Voula thanked her, and took her other hand. Manager and founder’s daughter, Voula Psihalopoulos, visits with longtime customers Gladys and Scott Cappiello at her family’s business Old Time Drive In, founded almost 40 years ago, on Wednesday, June 19, 2024 in Shadow Hills.
