Westside Drive-In celebrates 50 years
From KTRV-TV | May 4, 2007

A Boise landmark turns 50 years old this month.

And to celebrate, the Westside Drive-in will be featuring drink and food specials from the 1950s and '60s.

One of Boise's first drive-ins opened on the corner of 21st and State Streets in 1957. At that time, customers could enjoy a hamburger for just 15 cents.

In 1969, the owner remodeled the drive-in and added a front counter, and for the past 38 years it's been serving up shakes, burgers and other gourmet treats to valley customers.

"Any drive in can have different types of burgers, we actually do have prime rib, fettuccine, lots of saute items," said Steve LaFontaine with the Westside Drive-in.

The week-long birthday celebration at the Westside Drive-in begins May 14.
