Dixie Highway
Description:The Dixie Highway carried early auto tourists from the Midwestern US and Canada to Florida. When the US highway system was established, most of this system was absorbed into the nascent numbering system, some were not. Over time, much of it has been renamed, and the remaining named portions are like an incomplete puzzle. This category is an effort to fill in those missing pieces, connecting what time and progress have severed.

Dixie HighwayThe Root Beer Stand, Sharonville, OH

in Dixie Highway

This former A&W Root Beer franchise has been serving home made root beer along the Dixie Highway for over 50 years. Only open from March until September. Somedays you have to wait 20 mins to get a seat. A foot long coney and a mug is a safe bet.

I have not a clue what this is all about except that I suspect it may have been the local water company in years past. Neat looking building in its plainness. And I have seen poorer excuses for waymarks, so I thought I would have at it.
