Checkers

The traffic was heavy on I-95N yesterday afternoon near the Bay Plaza in Co-op City, Bronx, NY.  I was driving back home from attending a friend's surprise 50th birthday party in Malverne, NY when I thought it might be a good idea to make a detour at the Checkers Burger shop.   I haven't been there in many years.  As I got closer to the drive thru stand, I noticed the absence of activity and realized that they had closed up shop for good.  There was only one thing left to do - sketch it!  I pulled into one of those empty parking spaces and sketched what was visible from the driver's seat.

    Hope you found an alternate lunch destination. Fun and colorful sketch!

      Thanks, Joan. The food craving came and went. I didn't need the burgers after all. LOL
