>The Old A & W Root Beer Place in Mobridge Is Now the Yellow Sub.
[We] "“… cruise down a heavily trafficked main street. ...“
The Yellow Sub Restaurant, Mobridge, SD. is found after an hour of questioning every (very helpful) Mobridge citizens as to the where-about of the “Mobridge A & W. An older man, owner of an auto repair shop (North side of Rt12 near the river), directs me all the way back to the East side of Mobridge with the instructions “Look for the "Yellow Sub”. I’m totally puzzled what I am to look for??.I do what I am told and after traveling “down a heavily trafficked main street”, there it is! -- The old "Car-Hop-Canopy” and a bit of the West wall concrete block wall is all that’s left of the original 1968 Mobridge A & W place! As I understand it, the A & W place in Mobridge was created by Mrs. Carrie Overseth in 1963. Only the car-hop-canopy and wall were spared in a complete renovation and expansion, which created the “Harley (Overseth) Drive In” in 1985. Some years after that, Mr. Tim Rick, converted it to the present building for his Yellow Sub.
