Scope and content
Tape 1, Side 1. This oral history interview with Donald P. Krueger was conducted by Curtis Johnson on November 13, 1980, at Krueger's home in Portland, Oregon. The interview was conducted as part of the Drive-in Restaurants of Portland Oral History Project, a series of interviews that Johnson conducted about the history of Portland drive-ins, with a particular emphasis on Tik-Tok and Yaw's Top Notch. In this interview, Krueger discusses going to drive-in restaurants and car clubs in Portland, Oregon, while in high school in the mid-1950s. He talks about his involvement in street racing, describes the drive-ins he frequented, and discusses how the drive-in culture changed over the years. He talks about dating, music, and food at the drive-ins, focusing on Yaw's Top Notch, Tik Tok, and Jim Dandy; describes cruising on Broadway Street and Sandy Boulevard; and talks about the cars he owned. He closes the interview by sharing a few anecdotes about his drive-in days, talking about his activities with the car club, and by discussing the decline of Portland's drive-ins.
