Does Anyone Remember Carrol's?


From the "vintage Olean page" of www.gabrielamericanrealty.com
I do! I don't recall ever visiting this drive-in version in Olean, but I do remember the going often to the Carroll's in the East Rochester, NY area. They had prizes in their fries-ez. I think most Carolls' turned into Burger Kings. Here's a message board about Carroll's. Viva Central and Western New York! RIP 15 cent anything.

Yeah, even 5 cent moustache rides have gone up to 25 cents due to inflation.

I don't think we had those in our area....We did have "Red Barn" burgers and little tiny chicken legs...
