White Turkey
We bicycled 367 miles across Ohio in four days. Much of our route followed the Cardinal Trail Bike Route (CT), which traveled through farmland on low-traffic, back roads, skirting by most all of the towns. There were times when the communities were too avoided, when we needed a convenience store to restock our hydration or a deli or restaurant for substantial food. Sports or energy bars, trail mix, and snacks just do not cut it for lunch when we are cycling eighty-five miles day after day after day. We need real, solid food! Just one mile before we crossed into Pennsylvania, we got the best reward for that Ohio crossing when we came to the White Turkey Drive-In in Conneaut. Eddie and Marge Tuttle’s family business was raising White Holland Turkeys, and in 1952, they also opened their White Turkey Drive-In. This preserved gem is one of the original Richardson’s Root Beer stands. Richardson’s Root Beer originated in Rochester, New York, in the 1940’s. This original, All- American drive-in is now owned and operated by their son, Gary, and his wife, Peggy. They continue to raise White Holland Turkeys, which keep them busy through the winter months with preparations for the delicious turkey sandwiches served during the busy summer season. The root beer floats were another specialty that we enjoyed, as we sat at their cheery, brightly painted, fun, and clean, original outdoor counter, reliving the 1950’s era as songs, such as “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Blueberry Hill,” “No Particular Place to Go,” and “Be Bop A Lula” completed the perfect atmosphere. If it is summer and you are traveling Interstate-90 across the Pennsylvania-Ohio border, I highly recommend that you take exit 241, north to U.S.
