I miss the frosty glasses filled with ice cold root beer and the freshly made burgers.

I miss my mom's kitchen! Though she still spools me when I take the kids to visit there are days I wish I could come back from work and have some of her good cooking.

We had an A&W Root Beer store that offered root beer floats and other food items. I think they are all gone - the stores, not the floats (we make them at home now).

I do miss those. The nostalgia of those types of restaurants is much fonder than McDonald's or others of that style.

I do know there is a A&W at the intersection of I-10 and Hwy 90 in southern Arizona, but nothing like I remember from 30+ years ago.

Lt Col Timothy Parker, DBA - Would if I could, but I am in South Carolina... Just spent time at different times in Arizona. Only saving grace for that particular region was the A&W...

I remember the bright orange roof of Howard Johnson's restaurant- in the early 1960's it was a special treat when my parents took us out to eat at Howard Johnson's Sgt Tom Cunnally, SCPO David Lockwood
I really enjoyed the ice cream there.

Ho Joes was my favorite restaurant when I was a student at BC They were located in Cleveland Circle on Comm Ave which was a short distance from the campus. It was "THE "place to take your date for lunch or dinner & the prices were within my budget back then.

I used to go to one in the early sixties. A girl that I dated in those days loved it so we ended up there fairly often. It was good.
