"Frozen Dairy Bar" by Paul McGehee. This early evening twilight scene of the famous frozen custard shop in Falls Church, Virginia brings back fond memories of summer nights long ago. The shop was originally known as "Frozen Custard" when Guy and Walter Sponseller opened for business in 1950. It soon became a favorite of all those who enjoyed waiting in line to taste the frosty goodness of frozen custard: an ice cream-like treat invented in 1919 at Coney Island, New York, served soft in cones or cups. The little art-deco "Frozen Dairy Bar" building with its unique stylized "wings" was a roadside landmark until it was torn down in the mid-90's to make way for a shopping center. To this day, many still have wonderful memories of this unique place, where a little taste of heaven was served under the stars. "Frozen Dairy Bar" is an archival quality limited edition print of only 500 pieces, faithfully reproduced from Paul's original color pencil drawing, each print hand-signed by the artist. Print image size: 10 1/4" x 14 3/4".
