For over 40 years, residents enjoyed this seasonally operated Dairy Queen. Customers were served at two walk up windows. Many a time the servers had to yell at customers not to stand in the street while they waited in line.
In November of 1995, residents were elated to hear that a developer wanted to build a new year-round indoor Dairy Queen Braizer on a site next to the existing structure. After the new foundation was laid and piping was installed, the developer skipped town with the money from the bank loan. The bank took possession of the property in 1995. The neon was shaved off the sign and the sign was painted over in dark blue. The property was sold to the village in 1996 and a Chinese restaurant and a CVS drug store were later built here. 04-07
