This was originally the Donalsonville Tastee Freez.
Gayle Sheffield Floyd writes: Just a few facts about THE Tastee Freez by the daughter of the builder and owner, for many years. Trivia if you will…The Tastee Freez was built in the late 50’s when times were a little slower. Rupert Sheffield built and named D’ville’s “varsity”…the parking lot was a dusty place for all the kids to pull up and have a tray hooked to the window. Great burgers etc! My aunt, Mercedes was a friend to all of us kids, she would even fill the old juke box and blare out of the outside speakers for us on the ball field across the street! The coaches didn’t care to hear Lil Richard right on to The Beatles and Conway Twitty . It was great after my teen years as well. The carhop was my cousin who would name the parts of the atom for a tip!
When I photographed this, it was known as Fain’s. I believe it’s most recently been Hew’s. Either way, it’s Tastee.
As of 2020, I’m not sure if the building is still standing.
