We saw the Papa Burger statue outside of Angelo's on our way to Cafe 101. This statue is one of the A&W Root Beer family members. I am not sure if there used to be an A&W's at this location, or if it was brought in later. The statue is pretty close to original, with the exception of a few paint color changes. I didn't realize that there was a Papa Burger at this location, so I was very excited when we stumbled upon this by surprise.

The precise site of Roy W. Allen's first roadside root beer stand is about a half-mile away in Lodi, marked by a small plaque in the sidewalk. That was in 1919 -- long before the introduction of the Burger Family.
