Get Your Custard at an Affton Summer Landmark

Dairy Queen, at Gravois and Mackenzie roads may not be as famous as a certain south St. Louis spot, but for several generations it's been the place to go for soft serve in Affton.

Servers filling and dipping cones inside the building guessed it had been there 40 to 50 years. A 42-year-old patron said she went there when she was a girl.

Fifty years would put its founding in the early 1960s.

Does anyone remember going there at that time, or before?
