"Depression-era green was the enduring color scheme."

Remembering Drake's Sandwich Shops.
Through the Great Depression, World War II, the Baby Boom, the Beatles, Vietnam, Watergate, disco, and Reagan, Drake's sold chocolate cordials, orange marmalade sandwiches, pecan rolls, and limeade (fresh-squeezed, with the rind in the glass) to three generations of University of Michigan students....

When the Michigan Alumnus solicited memories of Drake's from readers, a surprising number said they had dated their future spouses there.
I know I did. I'm no longer married to my old Michigan classmate, but we loved the limeade, and now I'm with l.meade.
