I’ll give you the others, but frozen yogurt is an abomination, not a treat.

“Where else inside the city limits can you take your family for a reasonable priced treat?”

The Yogurt Tap (also a family owned business), the New Orleans snow cone place, Taqueria Del Sol ( I consider their tacos a reasonably priced treat), McDonalds if it has to be really cheap, probably others I’m forgetting.

This news is saddening. My husband and I visited this Dairy Queen as part of our first date in November, 1969. It may not have been the same family that operated the business, but Dairy Queen has been a fixture in Decatur there by the railroad tracks for decades.

It’s regrettable that a longterm neighborhood business is forced out all in the name of “development”. The city of Decatur will never be the same. Where else inside the city limits can you take your family for a reasonable priced treat?

I disagree. That is all.

The ice cream was delicious. The service was wonderful. The door was always open to help a community group with cups or plates or other support for anything going on. Folks can and should be able to do what they want with their property (for the most part), but I don’t think eliminating the wonderful presence in our community that DQ has been for 30 years is the only path to financial salvation for our wonderful municipality.
