Have you ever made the trip to the Will Rogers Archway in Vinita, OK. before? It's home to one of the largest McDonald's and gas stations in the U.S. Part gas station part roadside attraction it stretches across the I-44 highway and is two stories tall!
My husband David and I have been married 11 years. We celebrated our anniversary on November 1st. He was home and I was on a cruise ship in the Gulf of Mexico. I didn’t even talk to him that day. When I returned home he surprised me with a planned trip down the Talimena Scenic Byway.
According to the history of Pete’s Place on their website the restaurant started when Pietro Piegari, later changed to Pete Prichard, was injured in a mine accident and was unable to return to work. He took odd jobs and then began making and selling Choc beer from his home. The miners began gathering in Pete’s home to buy and drink Choc so in 1925 he officially open a restaurant.
David and I traveled down the Talimena Scenic Byway this past weekend. If you have not taken the drive we HIGHLY recommend it. (I will post photos from our trip shortly!) A friend of David's told him about a restored Studebaker dealership in Mena that we just had to see. I was the embarrassed owner of a 1957 Studebaker my senior year of high school. I hated that car but what I wouldn't give today
