Let's all go to the Dairy Queen...

This is one of the two Dairy Queens we went to as kids. It was built in 1947 and never had interior seats, you just had to walk up to the window, I think. Anyway, it's now the oldest DQ in Minnesota, and one of the 10 most endangered historical places in the state.

You know, I like dipped cones fine, but I'm really not sure a DQ, even one with this cool neon, qualifies as a historical place in need of protection.

We used to go there too - many a Dilly Bar was eaten by us. Are you also sad that they tore down the Carbone's on Dale? - love reading your blog, btw, as another Minnesotan transplanted to the Pacific NW.
