Order into a speaker box menu and a car hop brought the food out. Not as a kid but as a teenager our local A&W was the hot spot. Great food and all the best looking young ladies car hopped there. A teenagers dream come true, food and girls and the mandatory tire shredding attempt as you exited. The 60's were a great time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They opened the first new A&W in years this summer in Almont MI. That's just south of me. I can think of 5 locations around me here in MI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved their onion rings. Shit...I remember wanting to go there and eat some rings after I got my tongue stitched up after a mite puck game. My old man was like..."he's got mental problems". EXtra salt please! Fuck...just brought back some old memories. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, my skilz never improved much after that either but, I was more aware of the importance of "tongue positioning" (that's what she said). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More times than I want to admit. Gotta remember if you are playing pond hockey or barn hockey ALL THE TIME! ooops. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
