OLDEST ARBY'S IN AMERICA

i'm not entirely sure if i visited the oldest arby's in america but i am certain it is near the top of the list. i found it to be an odd experience through and through. from the manager who skipped past us asking in a loud sing song voice, "how you doing tonight!!!?" and then waived wildly at the strangers in the drive through. to the fact that it took her, no joke, almost 10 minutes to get two combo meals and a side of onion rings together when it appeared that all of the food was sitting there ready for us when we walked in and that they had no more than 1/2 a dozen customers in the past two hours including us and the car in the drive through.

but that was minor in comparison to my feelings for the old school electronic dumbwaiter that was used to deliver the food from the kitchen, over the passenger's head, over the driver's head and then down to the driver side window. it sort of resembled the set up at a drive through teller. i couldn't believe they were actually still using this devise. and when i saw the name i had to take a picture.

  1. Is this on Harlem? If so I completely saw it while you were driving us to your house and wondered about it.
