Frosty King is our local fast food spot. Fast food even before it was called that. It was formerly the Jolly Cone, or the JK. You have to be old to know that. And no, I am not just kidding. The hangout on warm summer days for those growing up in the last century. I'm sure much mischief was hatched from this spot on the corner of Pine and D in Exeter.
If you look closely at the second picture you will see new construction being done behind the JK, er Frosty King. If you look closer at the older building you might see something amiss on the side. The story is someone hit the building and knocked it off the foundation and now a new Frosty King needs to be built. Also notice even though it was hit by a car, it is still standing.
Just goes to show that some things can get old and run over, and still work.

So that's why they're building a new one.
I still refer to it as "The Jolly Kone"! Sigh... Sad to see such an "institution" going. But - I love your comment! Reminds me of the old Timex commercial "it takes a licking but keeps on ticking".
Jean,
If I had more money and sense, I'd buy the shell of the old building and more it to my back yard for a shop or gazebo or something.
Great idea! It would look great in your backyard! :)
Don't encourage him Jean ;)
Tell ya what, you can buy the old building and bring it here. There's room in our yard! :)
