A & W Drive-In Restaurant

One of the greatest parts of growing up in Portage County, Ohio was going to this Drive-In-Restaurant. It's annual opening is a sure sign of spring and their root beer is made in house daily. The bottled product will never compare. If you aren't hungry yet, their fresh made-to-order burgers, fries and onion rings are delicious and if I still don't have you, they often have "Cruise-In Night" when people drive their classic muscle cars.
This one opened may 5th 1956!
Too funny...Just came back from A&W Cruise Night in Smithfield, RI....Great shot!! Love the colors in the driveway...

Cool photo! Love the reflectons in the puddles. This brings back lots of memories. We had a drive in just like this one when I was growing up in Indiana. When I was young I went with my parents and as a teenager was known to hang out there occasionally with friends. Good to know they still exist!

It was so fun years ago when they used to come out in their roller skates and bring your food to the cars. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Wow I love how the puddles turned out in this! The colours are great! Also the crop dimensions you've used here are really effective.
