"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.
