Why is there only one Dairy Queen, that I'm aware of, in ABQ? We're in the desert and have one Dairy Queen?

I have to drive all the way to Montgomery and Louisiana to get a chocolate dipped cone or Blizzard. I could go to Sonic and get a blizzard type treat, but it's not exactly the same.

Sonic is pretty good. But being from the Midwest I sure do miss Dairy Queen. Even a Tasty Freeze would suffice. Any kind of cheap ice cream joint.

Can anyone tell me where else I can get a chocolate dipped cone? Or where your favorite place is for shakes and blizzard type treats?

There's a DQ really close to my pad, and I've been grabbing a blizzard on a near-weekly basis. Man, that is the cure for these ridiculously scorching days, I tell you.

There was one on Central down near the Juarez bus station. I think there was one on Broadway, too. The one on Lomas near Wyoming has been closed for a few years.

There's one in Edgewood with a bunch of curio stuff for sale. Bull horns, bull whips, bullshit. Good bullshit.

And, of course, the one on Louisiana north of Montgomery that's been jamming every time I've been there.

There is a DQ on Kathryn, just east of San Mateo.

I always get one of 2 things: chocolate dipped vanilla cone or a PB cup blizzard.

There's one on South Broadway (between Coal and Bridge, I think). It's an old-school walk-up DQ, like the one that used to be by the Juarez bus stop on Central.

The Downtown DQ is still on Central, but is a block or so west of Rio Grande Blvd on the south side of the street. I think the building used to be a KFC.

That said, Albuquerque needs more DQs, not less.

It has the coolest old-school signage. Here's a picture. That's pre-1937 Route 66, baby.
