Here's another Carter's Hamburgers, this one found in Detroit that's right up the alley of the other white burger buildings.

Here's the marquee for one of the first McDonald's ever built. It's always great to see one of the original arches still intact, with a healthy looking Speedee.

A vintage place to eat is Wympee's in Dayton, Oh. This eatery is located on the same block as White Tower.

 

UPDATE 09/13 : Here are a couple of recent photos of Wympee. Unlike the White Tower across the street that is now a White Lotus, Wympee's exterior is largely unchanged over the past decade. Many thanks to Richards Weiss for update. 09-13
