The abandoned Frosted Mug Drive In Restaurant. Alsip Illinois. June 2009.

This is a sad image of a place that once brought Me many happy memorys.
Seen here late at night at the corner of South Pulaski Road and West 116th Street, is the Frosted Mug Drive In Restaurant in south suburban Alsip Illinois.

I would visit the Frosted Mug occasionally from 1985 until 2007 just before they closed. This place was a local fun place with car shows on Tuesday and Saturday nights, homemade root beer, tasty and inexpensive food, and year round car hop service. This was one of the last drive in restaurants in the Chicago are with car hop service. Most of them had vanished by the mid 1970's.

So sad to see the place go. I used to go there all the time when I was a kid
