Next time I go to the VA in W haven, I must stop at Jimmie's. You are making me hungry, Paul.
Over on this side of the state we have Harry's, which has been there since before I was born. Great burgers, and really good fries.
My cousin and I used to ride in his 50 chevy pickup to a drive in on RT 5 near Warton Brook Park and get clams and fries.
When I was in Oregon in the USAF, we would go to A&W, or Shakey's for burgers. My buddy bought a 46 Harley all apart and told me if I put it together for him he would keep my gas tank full and my belly full of burgers.
