Throwback to the Past
by Helen Betts

Okinawa, Japan

A&W drive-ins are alive and well in Okinawa, complete with carhops. They are owned by an Okinawan firm now but are a throwback to the days after World War II when the island was occupied and then administered by the U.S. military, which ended in 1972 when Okinawa reverted to Japan. Many vestiges of U.S. rule remain, however, including A&W and Blue Seal/Foremost Ice Cream parlors.

NICE PICTURE!

I love the car on the right (under the words "roots beer"). What is it? Toyota?

best regards,

Interesting contrast, it looks like a low contrast image but isn't, this is another one of those images that has me staring. I really like it, but can't pinpoint what it is I like. All around great image! - Shay
