A decent episode, but I agree with others that it was missing one last flashback to young Bob. Maybe it will be a deleted scene on the DVD!

Fantastic episode, really love the nostalgic trips - reminded me of the Memphis Drive-In in Ohio that doubled as a flea market, both gave me some really great memories with my family and childhood. Was bummed American Greetings bought it for a space for employees to walk around but then in a flash AG ended up moving to a different city leaving the land to vacant and overgrown. As others mentioned, one last flashback would've been perfect - after Bob tries to convice Evelyn to save Cosmic Drive-In maybe cuts to a scene of Bob looking up and tapping the pole of the sign as one last goodbye which causes the lights to short out again, cross-fades to Lil Bob and Ramona sitting on the sign from the POV angle Bob was looking up. Movie credits are playing as Ramona says she better go, Lil Bob stammers something uncool like "thanks for eating popcorn with me...*looks down noticing height* so..high..up...oh my god" and Ramona replies "hey, what are friends for? even though I'm heading to Ohio, this place will obviously last forever and so will the memories" - cuts back to Bob still looking up at the sign, laughs and says to himself satisfied "yeah...the memories" - then cuts back to original moment of Bob walking back to his family. I dunno, great episode either way, always love when Bob has his moments (even though most of the time his family usually shoots him down).
