Frisco Freeze, Tacoma Washington
Straight out of Happy Days, the glowing neon sighs atop a candy-cane pole points customers to a classic burger joint in Tacoma’s Hilltop.
This fast-food icon opened in 1950 and became the place for many a teenager’s first date, an evening meeting place and a late night gathering spot. It earned a place on the Tacoma Register of Historic Places on August 19, 2008.

Ahhhh, The Frisco.

Home of the famous Gut Bombs and Belly Busters. (burgers and fries)

Opened by one of my dad's frat brothers, Perry Smith. Loved his race horses.

Always provided jobs for high school kids and college kids home for summer breaks.

One end of our "Cruise - the - Ave. loop.
