When you think of root beer floats, what name pops into your mind? Yes,
of course. A&W Root Beer! Although A&W root beer stands
are dropping like flies, there are still some around to quench your thirst.

Here's the last of the drive-in eateries with 24 hour carhop service in Southern California. The A&W Root Beer in Ontario shut its doors for the last time on April 30, 2006 due to a drop in business. Another roadside treasure becomes only a memory. 05-06
