Ice Cream Enters the Abyss – (and Sadly, Just “Scooped” Itself Right Off the Map)
In what must be the most profound news of the year (in the annals of local ice cream drama, at least), the venerable Dairy Queen at 615 Armour Road—proudly crushing cones in the Northland for over three decades—has vanished from the digital world. The location is now officially “permanently closed,” exiled from Dairy Queen’s website and marked departed on Google according to the KC Star. https://www.kansascity.com/news/business/openings-closings/article311843290.html
Tony’s Kansas City, always the beacon of blogosphere brilliance, dubbed this cosmic chill-out “Ice Cream Into Abyss” and admitted it might be their best writing in a while. They weren’t kidding. It’s not every day a once-iconic frozen treat haven gets mourned with such dramatic flair.
Here’s the skinny, Thirty-plus years of Blizzards, sundaes, and drive-thru detours, all flushed down the metaphorical drain in one fell swoop—no fanfare, no press release beyond “permanent closure,” and certainly no “Thank you, Dairy Queen” cake. Even Google responded with a curt “Not anymore, sorry” in listing form.
