Yep, I grew up near Taylorville, Illinois and I'm pretty sure that is where we had an A&W Drive Inn! My mom still has a "baby" A&W glass mug like the picture to the right! (I think my parents "snitched" it!) :0

I drink the soda. It's good.

I love the A&W Root Beer Flots and still get to enjoy them. There is still one old A&W Root Beer stand on 23rd Street in Independence, MO. You can tell it's been around a while, but the root beer is delicious and the flots are fantastic.

You can still get them in many parts of Canada, although A&W was much better in the 70's. They had cool restaurants, not only with the drive-ins, but some had nice comfy decor inside and even fish&chips.

We used to have an A&W drive-in in Staten Island,NY and those root beer floats were to die for and there was no other way to drink A&W root beer than from one of those frosty mugs

A trip to the A&W was a big event for me back in the 70's. There wasn't a Dairy Queen around and who even heard of McDonalds yet. Loved it when we pulled up to place and they had that menu out there. You decided what you wanted then mom or dad would talk into the box on what we ordered. Back then I was limited to the Baby Burger and fries but sometimes was allowed the Mama Burger. The rootbeer was the best part though. Always thought the girls that brought the food out to us were the prettiest in the world in their outfits and the coin changers on their waists. Oh for those days.
