Penneys and McDonalds were located in the city of Grand Forks so this was obviously a trip into town.
I don't recall where McDonald's was located but Burger King was on the south side of Highway 2 as we entered town. Just opposite the Burger King on the other side of the road was an A&W Root Beer drive-in restaurant we also frequented. Behind the A&W was a dirt race car track at the North Dakota Fair Grounds where we would watch stock car races and demolition derbies. The track could also be used figure-8 style which lead to interesting collisions. I loved the track and ate cotton candy there.
On South Washington Street in Grand Forks was the K-Mart we frequented and a small Ben Franklin store. That street also had a Kentucky Fried Chicken and car dealers including Chevrolet and Buick.
