How about the Beachcomber Restaurant? What a great place with the wicker chairs and those fancy Hawaiian drinks to go with a great surf and turf.

Aw sh*t, every once in a while somebody has to do something like this just to remind us how old we really are.
Wonder if these things will make a comeback like so many of the fashions from back then??
Enjoy your trip down the lane.

Every 16 year old who got their drivers license in Golden would head up to A&W for lunch during school. Sure miss having your burger served to your car.

friday and sat night cruzing and racing on jasper ave! 1/8 mile race track on the street up in the industral park in Salmon Arm.......hand started drag racing at mable lake (enderby)...... the 4 screen drive-in at Calgary.....the drive-in at Salmon arm.......the drive-in in kamloops......now they are all gone and we get a drive-in at enderby! times were much nicer back then.....back then you could go out for a night for 1/10th what it costs now just for fuel.....lol.....I know you old timers will say you could go out for under a few bucks.... movie tickets....gas for the car......snacks at the movie......and buy a pack of smokies or a case of beer for a few bucks.......guess I'm just not that old yet! I do remember gas being sold(for my sled)by the gallon next door to my house.....but when I started driving gas was around 38 cents a liter with major gas wars down as low as 6-7 cents a liter.......I remember one day they payed you to take away propane like 2 cents a liter!......boy have times changed!

a gas war now is trying to find it a few cents lower that anyone in the city on a certain day of the week! lol

When used to go to work for days/weeks on end and the only form of communication with you family was an XJ phone or the local pay phone if you were lucky enough to get to a town.
