Do you remember when Arby's actually cut the roast beef that were roasting in their ovens in front of you and make your sandwich? Or am I dating myself by stating this.... :O

Before McDonalds.

Was fun to see a tray hooked onto the drivers side door with burgers and drinks.

Bet some of you kids never been to a Drive In movie either. In a station wagon with pillows and blankets in back. Sharing the bottled Coke, Popcorn and Good-n-Plentys. 

Todays kids are spoiled.

Oh well... you missed out.

I know of 2 not far from my house. They can be fun as long as the bugs aren't too bad.

There are still a few Root Beer places that will serve you at your car. There is an old A&W place near me that I used to go to after hockey when I was little, I loved that place, the food was awesome.

Even the little town of 660 people I grew up in (Hugo, Minn) had an A&W drive in. Very fond memories of it. Forest Lake (larger town just 10 miles north) had a DOUBLE sided drive in. Woot! Very fond memories of dripping ice cream in the back seat of Dad's new car and getting hollared at for it. :D
