I'm afraid this personal loss is going to hit him as much as the closing of Big Red Tomato pizza did several decades ago.

I remember my aunt and uncle taking me there when I was about 5 years old (I'm 78 now).

In the early 1970's when Rt 33 traffic went through downtown Nelsonville there were two establishments, Diary Queen and Brown's. Brown's had the most delicious custard recipe. Our OU business professor said that if Brown's had DQ's location they would own the market. Alas, Brown's didn't and went out of business. Or so my memory recollects.

Can anyone verify this? If true, shouldn't this DQ be saved for historic preservation purposes? Asking for a friend.

I regret to add that if the DQ brass had been with me on my last visit to a filthy, fly-ridden, worn out restaurant, they would have shut them down on the spot. Gotta believe that “tired of running” neglect had something to do with it.
