Well know for offering
28 Flavors of ice cream, the flavors changed over time with the
tastes of patrons. However several remained static, and those
were etched into the mirror panels that flanked Simple Simon
and the Pieman. Note in the detail below the special changeable
plastic flavor signs that were under "Today's Special Flavors."

Built in an established
residential neighborhood, a large home can be seen through the
windows at the Dairy Bar. By 1958 that home and a couple of others
were replaced by a small HoJo's Motor Lodge. |
