Long Description:Was interesting to pursue this waymark category as my wife recalled
going to this location some in the 1990's. We're both from Indiana,
thus remember visiting Burger Chef growing up.
The street address given in this lisitng
("http://www.thebawdycloister.com/burger_chef_locations/tennessee/)"
target="_blank">visit link) DOES NOT appear to match up with the
1955 vintage picture
("http://freepages.college-alumni.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~whitetwp/wpe305.jpg)"
target="_blank">visit link) and the comment that it might be a
Dairy Queen now. The DQ is at 819 Lynn Garden Drive, so maybe a 822
address is correct. The DQ is Waymark WM4X98. The default picture
for the DQ. I wish I had taken a photo from the same place as the
1955 shot, as to show the rounded street corner for Truxton (the
old main drag) merging into Lynn Garden Drive (the new main road
into this neighborhood). 802 Lynn Garden appears to be across the
street from the Days Inn hotel, which does not match up with the
1955 photo background.
