Here are a few roadside shots of the Mel-O-Creme Donuts of Springfield,
IL. The marquee at the Mel-O-Creme looks to be a bit worn by the years, as the
crown above the donut on the sign no longer radiates.
(Above) The location appears to always have traffic, which is great
for its roadside appeal.
(Left) Check out the logo lettering on the side of the building.

This donut shop is an actual Donut Drive-in. Grab a bag of donuts
while on your way out to the St. Louis Arch. But watch out for the rain.
It comes suddenly and in droves!
UPDATE 07/07 : Now gone is the Drive-in Donuts sign on old Route 66, just up the street from Ted Drew's. The donut shop is still open there. Many thanks to Dennis Dixson for update. 07-07
