Another fast-food joint

A Sonic Drive-In is under construction on Route 27, near Vliet Avenue in the parking lot of the Stop & Shop. This is what can be called big news for the fast-food set.

I have to admit, however, that I don’t get it. I’ve eaten twice at Sonic — once in Iowa about 10 years ago when we went out to visit my sister and once in May in Maryland (Fruitland — gotta love that name) on the way back from the Outerbanks. It was good, but not good enough to inspire the kind of mania you hear about; it was, after all, still fast food.

But it’s still going to be a welcome addition to the area. There are only so many pizza places one area can support.
