A&W Root Beer Statues

I found most of the A&W Root Beer family residing here at Carter's Drive-In. Papa and Mama Burger are in back next to the outdoor seating area. Teen Burger stands out front by the entrance, and the mechanism that makes him spin back and forth still works. Didn't see Baby Burger, unfortunately. Carter's used to actually be an A&W stand, and the statues have been there for years.
