Renovation

Guest photographer Moe has provided today's image of the renovation of something of a landmark in Stayton.

The Dairy Queen restaurant was a fixture on 1st Ave., across from Regis Field for a good many years. I remember going there frequently for ice cream as a kid.

The DQ is still around, but it moved to a new location. It's nicer now that it's all brand new, but there was something nostalgic about the old building.

It sat empty for some time before it was eventually renovated. This photo, taken in 2005, shows part of the process. It's now a new fast food restaurant (a combo of Taco Time, Samurai Sam's, and a smoothie place of which I can't remember the name) with an entirely different feel to it.

Thanks, Moe, for sharing the photo!
