A southside Milwaukee landmark, Leon's Frozen Custard features working neon at a drive-in type of roadside eatery. The signage and frozen custard stand are a flashback to an era when drive-in eateries were the norm on a hot summer night, especially those with neon.

Here is one of the few remaining Twistee Treat cone-shaped stands that still dot the U.S. Enjoy a refreshing cone while traveling through Illinois. Here's another one located in Florida and a new one added to Roadside Peek in Ohio. This one still appears to be in great condition.

Here's Andy's Custard in Springfield, MO. Custard is a delectable desert which strangely is seldom used, if at all, in the West.

Coney Island Custard Shoppe (Removed)
Streetsboro, OH
Photo and info courtesy Mark Hackett

Off Rt. 14 in Streetsboro, Ohio is Custard's Coney Island Shoppe. Plenty of chain stores, condos, and restaurants surround this happy icon of the past. Great malts and other treats can be enjoyed here throughout the summer season.

Update 05/05 : The owner of the Coney Island Custard Shoppe has sold the business and a chain ice cream store is taking its place. And yes, the sign has been taken down. Word on the street is that the City of Streetsboro wanted the sign removed for some reason. A local historical society (Kent) says the sign is too big to save for their purposes. For now, the sign sits behind the building, laying flat. The neon hasn't worked in years, but the sign was a pleasant reminder of a simpler time. This sign may end up on Ebay. Many thanks to Mark Hackett for update. 05-05
