Dairy Queen is Open!

Dairy Queen at 4740 Minnehaha Avenue South and adjacent to Minnehaha Falls park opened this week!  While this DQ is in a pretty new buliding, it seems like it has been at this location forever.  Being from Texas, it seems strange to me that a DQ would shut down for the winter.  As a current Minnesotan, I'll take the opening of DQ as a sign that summer WILL return.  Really.  The current hours on 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM Sunday - Saturday.
