This restaurant is located in Grand Forks, North Dakota and has been standing in this spot, practically unchanged, for 72 years. It was originally a walk-up root beer stand built in 1935. The giant kegs were taken from that stand and incorporated into the drive-in building in 1946, where it still is today.
