I always thought it a strange name especially when people whistle Dixie. I like you memories of old. They seemed like yesterday only we didn't have one. We did have an AandW in the big town where my brother met his wife 53 years ago. My wife had a bowling alley where everyone hung out with great tenderloins. L.

Curb service and a jukebox outside on a concrete slab where we could dance. We got into trouble more than once for coming home late. You described it perfectly!

I went there on my first date after a school dance for a hamburger and a root beer. How fun you were able to photograph the old sign.

They were both really cute so it increased business. Good memories you shared here. They brought back many for me, too. :-)DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.com
