^^^^^ We had the exact same DQ setup as that above. The last surviving building was demolished a couple of years ago. If that was in color you would notice the yellow "bug lights" under the awnings.

Our local DQ - growing up in the '70s - looked just like that as well. In my memory, there was also a free-standing sign close to the curb, but the building looked just like that. I remember looking in those windows as a kid trying to see how all the magic happened.

I think Tastee Freeze was the brand of ice cream truck that use to chase us kids around the neighborhood.

Wouldn't the chasing have been the other way around - at least it was in my neighborhood?

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I love those, whenever I found one... especially the vintage shop, they have some really cool stuff one day I found out a classic straight razor, which I totally fall in love with

I'm surprised they didn't put in a dam restaurant!

What, no coonskin caps? Fail.
Probably why they went out of business.

Vintage DQ down the road a piece from my hometown... still going strong.

We've got a walkup DQ here. It's on its second owner since it started in early days of DQ. The company always wanted them to build a new building but they are landlocked and it would have required relocating. It also makes enough money from March to October that the owner has no other job and goes to Florida in the winter. He is only 55. I can't blame him for his lack of interest in a year round committment.
