Tastee Freez

Who remembers the Tastee Freez on Plank Road?   I have recollections of visits there, especially after playing in Jefferson Park.  I believe it was gone by 1962 or 63, mostly due to upper management blunders within the company which led to flirting with bankruptcy proceedings and the solution was to shutter stores in smaller communities like ours.

  1. The Tastee Freez is before my time but I LOVE that Sinclair station! All that corner glass is just wonderful! So much character compared to the pole building that is there now.
