BARBECUE TODAY
    ROTTERDAM — Rotterdam United Methodist Church, corner of Curry Road and Helderberg Avenue, will sponsor a chicken barbecue from 3:30 p.m. until sold out today . Fast drive-thru only. Adult dinner costs $9, child’s dinner $5, and half a chicken $5.

As far as fast drive-thru, I think that the traffic would tell you otherwise.  People were coming east on Curry Road (from Curry Road Shopping Center way), and the traffic was backed up farther than I've ever seen it.  I was stopped in line on the OTHER side of the bridge, so much that I turned down a sidestreet and went to Helderberg, where I got through faster than anyone waiting on Curry.
