Dairy King Drive-In - Nashville

Dairy King sign

When I was a kid and would ride past Dairy King in South Nashville on East Thompson Lane, I just assumed it was trying to be a cheap knock-off of Dairy Queen. In fact, it's a popular restaurant that's been there for several decades.

That was, until the May 2010 flood. Their building was next door to Mill Creek, and when the creek rose, it did permanent damage to them. They moved about half a mile up the road, but the last time I looked they left their sign at their old location, which I believe is now a place to buy used clothing.

News: Proposed law to help save historic signs like Bobbie's Dairy Dip

Bobbie's Dairy Dip

Bobbie's Dairy Dip is a popular 50's style walk up eatery along Charlotte Pk (US 70) on the west side of Nashville.

There's been a law proposed by Nashville's Metro Council to change the zoning laws to help preserve the older signs, which are a part of Nashville's past.

More info about this proposed law and a Channel 5 news clip can be seen here:
