FAREWELL TO MARSHALLTOWN FAVORITE!

     While in Marshalltown yesterday, I whipped in to the Dairy Queen on south Center Street for one of my favorite lunch treats while in town. I ordered my Chicago hotdog, took my number, grabbed a Des Moines Register and waited for my top three or four meal treats in my old home town.

      The young man that manages there came over after  I had started to eat and informed me he had some bad news. They were discontinuing the "Chicago" off their menu due to, as in so many words,-its unpopularity.

      At least I know how to make it at home and it is not like they closed Taylor's Maid Rite. But, still you always hate to lose something that you could depend on for so long. Nothing lasts forever!
