One of the things I miss living out here in Arkansas, White Castles! Once you get past St. Louis, they disappear :( Whenever we go back to Indiana to visit family, we try to pay a visit to a White Castle. The kids love them too :)
My dad moved down to the South for his job after he and Mom divorced. He dearly missed White Castles, and whenever my grandparents or anyone from up north would come to visit, they would bring Dad his fix, LOL.
Man, I love memories like that. Your Dad was a very lucky man!
