There’s just something about Summertime and having a root beer float!
But when you go to an outdoor diner to have that root beer float. It’s just more special! It’s a throwback in time.
The White Turkey Drive-In is located in Conneaut, Ohio. It’s about a half hour away from us here at the LakeHouse.
They are known for their rich Richardson Root Beer.
The couple who opened this nostalgic place back in 1952 named it after their Turkey sandwiches. The Turkey came from their Farm where they raised White Holland Turkeys. Hence White Turkey Drive-In.
Sweet Man got the cone but I opted for the float! What a treat!
The day we went… there just happened to be a classics car show down the road a bit.
What fun and so appropriate for a nostalgic day! The whole day was set back in time …just a bit!
A perfect summer day as far as I’m concerned! Ice Cream, Root Beer floats, and old trucks! Oh yea!
Going back to 1952 was fun.
(Definitely a retro edit!)
I also enjoy classics edited this way! 
Have you ever tried a Root Beer Float? Have you gone back in time and enjoyed a treat from the past at a nostalgic diner?
If not, perhaps it’s time! I highly recommend it! I relived memories from when my Mom made them for me when I was little. Of course… I made them for my kids when they were little.
This video has great sound… please make sure your volume is up!
It’s all about FOOD today at WANDERING WEDNESDAY that Ingrid at Live Laugh RV hosts.
Oh my gosh, I LOVE Root Beer Floats (although they don’t love me). What a fun time and yummy post!
A fun day for sure!
Love root beer floats! Haven’t had one in a long time.
It’s time girlfriend! When you come to AZ I’ll make you one!!
Yippee!!!!
Love it! Such nostalgia!
Thank you! A fun day!
Thanks so much! You do the same! 😀
I love going back in time!
Me too!
I love root beer floats! They remind me of our family road trips when I was a kid. A&W drive ins were about the only fast food way back then. I may have to go out to a local ice cream shop for a root beer float today!
Oh enjoy !!!!
The nostalgia is heartwarming!?
No question mark! Fingers are way too quick!
Always one day a summer trip. Car show at the Elks tonight here…
Have fun
You know I would stop by. But Sweet Man is coming home!
Nancy, I love nostalgia, old diners, old songs, and your post! I don’t like root beer, however. But my mom always made me a coke float and they were so good. I haven’t had one in at least 30 years. Thanks for sweet memories!
I am thinking you could do a cute table setting…..! 😊
That might be a plan!
😃
I SO agree! I love RB floats! You’ve got good taste. :o)
Well thank you!
They are delish!
Now, that’s a root beer float with an attitude. It looks amazing. 🙂
It was soooooooo gooooood!
Gorgeous scene, Nance. Even the street shot with Gerd Pharmace screams Retro Americana!
I know! This town has a fabulous retro vibe!
Wow! That looks delicious. I’ve never had a rootbeer float.
All you need is a good root beer and then add a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Some people would rather have Coke with ice cream . Then that is called a Coke Float. You and your daughter may have to try.
The post is rich in flavor, just like the beer!
Thank you kindly!
