For instance, it's my understanding that Tony Packo's (as mentioned by Klinger in MASH several times) is a big tourist draw in Toledo.

It was a fun place full of memorabilia, the closest thing to a Wendy's museum. One acrylic case contained an empty Frosty container and spoon that was actually used by entertainer Danny Thomas (not to be confused with franchise founder Dave Thomas). We went there during its last weekend, and in honor of the occasion, I consumed my very first (and likely my very last) Triple. Alas, it's all gone now. And so is the Wendy's.
