Didn't see any A&W drive-ins on that list. Know there were a few in the metro area. | ||

There is an A&W's at 12mi W. of Woodward in Berkley. Rochester Rd. N. of I-75. And one on M-15 N. of Clarkston, between their and I-69. Classic speaker & car-hop type places. At least that is what I recall from the past few years. | ||

The Berkley A & W is on 12 Mile just east of Greenfield (yes west of Woodward, but quite far west) and is still open as of a couple of weeks ago anyway. My husband's family lives in the area so we visit frequently. | ||

There is a drive in A&W in Taylor on Telegraph just north of Northline rd. I think there is also one in Lincoln Park on southfield. | ||

There was an A&W on the road that goes around the east side of Walled Lake. Not sure if it is still there, didn't see it on that website one way or the other. | ||
