Now you see it, now you don’t. That’s how fast the old Dairy Queen
building went down in Rush City Thursday morning. The building has been
vacant for many years, but residents still talked of the delicious
malts and other frozen treats they used to get at this shop, even as
they applauded the demolition. The property is now owned by the city
which was responsible for the cost of asbestos abatement and
demolition. City Councilwoman Nancy Schroeder, on hand for the early
morning wrecking party, said the city doesn’t have any plans for
the lot right now.
One of the reasons for the city’s urgency in removing the building was for safety.
With this building gone, the council feels there will be a nicer welcome to Rush City for visitors.
