I drove down Hamburg Turnpike yesterday to see Preakness Chevy has gone out of business. While I don't really mourn that loss too much, it's that a "what-if" has now gone off.
Back in '04, the car dealership purchased the Old Barn Milk Bar on the other side of the parking lot. "The Barn" was this restaruant on a huge parking lot that didn't serve good food, but did serve these huge portion of Welsh Farms Ice Cream that was perfect for a hot summer day. Making it even better, my PAL baseball team was sponsored by the Barn, so we went there everytime we won. One way or the other, it has a special place for everyone growing up in Wayne or Pompton Lakes.
When the Chevy dealer bought the place, it closed down the restaurant and a local monument. Now that they parent company no longer exists, I wonder if anyone will try to revive the place. Not the best business plan in the world, but seems like fun to me.
I mean it's no Penn State Creamery, but what is?
