Just off of I5 sits Myrtle Creek. There is a
Dairy Queen near the freeway’s exit. My first introduction was on June 5th
when sweet Denise drove me back from Roseburg to Myrtle Creek so that I could
secure the property where I currently live.
We ate at the Dairy Queen before we went back to Roseburg and parted
ways. (See this post)
Roland and Jenna also visited the same Dairy
Queen just a week later. We’ve been
there a few times, but not often. Occasionally
Roland has surprised Jenna and me with DQ treats that he’s picked up when he’s
been out driving – or as with this photo from this post
Jenna and I have enjoyed Dilly Bars, ice cream
cones and peanut butter parfaits. It now
appears that our ice cream treats may be a thing of the past – at least for the
remainder of this year.
Yesterday we decided we would go to DQ for
Family Home Evening – eat a little something – listen to Jenna tell us about
her first day. A sign on the marquee
said:
Closing Aug 31st
Reopening Nov 1st
What??????
The DQ that has been a part of this
town since 1949 (although not named DQ until a later date) New ownership wants
to call it: Tommy’s All American Burgers.
What??????
We had no clue that when we went to the
DQ, it would be for the last time – not by choice, but because it was the last
day it would be opened under that name.
