How about some Joliet history....The original name of the town was Juliet which paired with neighboring town Romeoville. The name was later changed to honor Louis Joliet. So nice to see local history in my neck of the woods!
The original Dairy Queen! Until now I never knew where it existed. Not only do I enjoy the ice cream, I enjoy their hot eats as well! Burgers and Chili dogs! I’ll be visiting one of the oldest and longest operating DQ location in the country soon in New Castle, Indiana right down the street from my grandparents. I’ve been planning on capturing it in a video. I really enjoyed this! I love DQ
Tampa Jay We used to have a DQ in Ionia Michigan years ago when I was a kid, they closed down and turned it into The Snack Shack which was the same type of business. It was eventually tore down and became a new Marathon gas station.
Love me a blizzard..😀
Tampa Jay the video made me hungry so I went to Dairy Queen on 54 and got a blizzard lol
*drool*... best chili dogs
The original Dairy Queen is on Wall Street in Kankakee, IL. It was the very first store and is still open.
i miss small town mom and pop owned dairy queens. i remember when i was a kid in the 80s it was huge ordeal when the dairy queen would opne back up in the spring. they had a walk up window and a few few tables outside to sit at. two older ladies ran it for as long as i can remember. a coney dog and chocolate milkshake was my favorite thing to get when i was a kid. they tore the old dq down and rebuilt it with a gas station. : (
I'll tell you I was so happy that in the Copperfield area of Houston TX they opened a Dairy Queen that's up to date. Ice cream bars, bottled water and up to date technology oh it's awesome. DQ is not dead. I'm saddened and sorry to hear you lost your DQ just so more Indians could profit.
Dairy Queen is everywhere in the south. The old school locations from the 70's and 80's have most all been rebuilt though. The food is still pretty good though and of course the blizzards!
I’ve lived in Kankakee for 45 years and been to Dairy Queen on Wall Street many times. Love the videos Adam!
The best Dairy Queen’s are the ones that were never remodeled.
MJW 😂😂😂😂😂😂
MJW for real though
Just like the best BBQ joints - they have burnt down at least once in their existence.
You better hope you don't run onto anymore Dairy Queen's you won't fit in the rental car anymore
CiscoWes or have a million photo of Elvis on the wall. But the holy grail would be both.
Thanks for the great time 😀 take care and be safe God bless
in adel ga there is a DQ buolt in the 60's with the old sign that auctly says dairy queen and it is still open to this day as of october 2021
Who but Adam the Woo could take a dilapidated old nondescript building and make it interesting? You're the best Adam!
I do love these historic restaurants and eatery vlogs. Soooooo much information to learn from them all.
We're very lucky to still have some "vintage" DQ's here in Michigan... Although, my favorite is and always will be our "vintage" Ortonville, Michigan A&W 😁
Too bad DQ didn't buy the building back and restore it to the original Dairy Queen store. I bet it would get a lot of business for nostalgia reasons.
The problem is that there are two other DQ’s (as far as I know of) so if they do this it might hurt the business of the other two.
Very interesting for sure.Here in Texas, Dairy Queen has been here forever and I thought it started in Texas but I was wrong.After a little research I found the first and continually operating DQ in Texas opened in Henderson,TX in 1950.Its still open and years ago when asked if town folk wanted to build a new one,they said no so it is the original building and the first in Texas.Pretty wild.Great vid,thanks Adam.:)
Love your videos.
I live in the small town of ROANOKE RAPIDS NC on I 95, one of the only burger joints was DQ. , NOW EVERY FRANCHISED HAMBURGER PLACE IS THEAR WE CALL IT BURGER ALLY. I95
You r the besttttt i am following theses places when in the US. I m from Brazil
Since you're in the Midwest, I hope you get a chance to cruise by House on the Rock. It's your cup of tea for sure!
I live like 2 hours away from Kankakee, never realized there was so much history that close!! Thanks for informing me Adam!
Good Morning Adam, have a great day of adventures!
Pawsome!!!!! I lived in New Lennox Illinois for a little bit and would make trips into Joliet. In Romeoville Illinois there is another walk up Dairy Queen. Also there use to be a walk up Dairy Queen next to the Bedford Park Libary with a big billboard neon sign on the roof on Archer Ave. I remember going to that location as a kid in the 1980s with my family and watch the Argo Foods Corn Products switchers switch around covered hopper cars and tank cars while eating ice cream. It was sadly was torn down for to expand the Libary's parking lot in 2004. =^.^=
More than A few older looking walk ups in Minnesota. Didn't ever serve burgers and only were open spring to fall.
I worked for DQ back in high school in my hometown. The DQ was robbed so many times they closed. There's more then one DQ in my hometown that it really don't hurt the city much at the lose of the DQ.
I love you Adam. Seriously I do! It seems like every video you get at least one obvious word wrong...that’s not a roof, it’s a ceiling. Every time you do something like that I want to scream. That being said, I love your videos, none the less.
Fascinating stuff Adam, Thank you
Thanks Adam very cool
Grove Oklahoma still has a Dairy Queen.
Dairy Queen in Lincoln Illinois is a walk up but it has a drive Thur
Not sure but live in Missouri and loved the chocolate dipped cone and a dilly bar
Great video Adam! Of all your various content, I think I love these kind of 'Americana' topics best. I'm British but I'm moving to LA in a few months and when I get a little nervous about leaving the UK these videos help remind me of all the things I'm looking forward to featuring on my own channel in years to come! :-)
Hi Adam, this is an interesting vlog. I love Dairy Queen soft serve ice cream. They don't have the store here in the southbay now. Not sure if Joliet is the original one. That is a good question. Have a great year!
Okay Adam I subscribed I think this is so cool.... I love old history what a great find
Your Colombo-like research skills pay off again Adam! I would have enjoyed eating to the bottom of that mystery as well! Great episode! Thank you! Next time you’re in Illinois, check out Oberweis. They’re ice cream is some of the best I’ve had. Their shakes are absolutely the best! 🍦🤘🏼👍🏼
When I was Little and in FosterCare we all jumped in the Van to go to Dairy Queen But a little black poodle we had (its name was SHOO SHOO) jumped in the Van to When we Got there we all had Icecream and the employees gave SHOOSHOO a bowl too after that whenever we went somewhere that Dog would jump in the Van probably wanting Ice Cream I miss that Dog
Wilkes-Barre, PA. Original home of Planters Peanuts. Nearby: Shooting location of “The Molly Maguires” with Sean Connery, Lackawanna Coal Mine Tour, Steamtown Train and Electric City Trolley Museum, and Jim Thorpe, PA, location of the tomb of Olympic champion Jim Thorpe, whose medals were revoked when it was discovered he had played professional ball.
right on the woo in myy home town of kankakee
alot of history in the kankakee illinois area
My home town also
DQ was my first job in Detroit when I was a kid.. you could work there at 14.
I think that yellow Protrusion Held a great that covered the doors or the windows..just a guess... Every time I think I can't get better I come across one of these vlogs Adam the great
Those aren't roofs, they're called ceilings! On the building with the confusing addresses, the paired doors represent (a) the store at ground level and (b) the stairs for the apartment upstairs.
Inspector Columbo would be dang proud of your research and colorful narative. Rock on
That last one was the Burbonnais location not Kankakee.
Good morning Adam! 💓😄
Cool video. I think the 1st 1940 building was the the original DQ.
joliet prison was where john belushi was in from the movie (blues brothers)
They certainly made it here, they were the best.
hmm maybe they are both the first and second franchised dairy queen's i knew of a larger sit down dairy queen where i grew up at that was unfortunately burned to the ground it had the original franchise sign and everything i only know of one other one close to me that is nearer to westfield has the same basic design just a different orientation sheds a tear i practically lived in the other dairy queen in my hometown as a kid great video adam
Today you are traveling around some of the places that I visited several years back. Are you going to go to Metropolis, Illinois again while you are out that way to visit Superman’s hometown? That is one place I would like to go back to again. Quite interesting place. 👍
DQ rocks. Also - LOVE the Stuckey's t-shirt - that's awesome!!
WOW A TRAIN STOPPED ON THE BRIDGE IN THE INTRO!
This was uploaded on June 7th, I bet you aren't in the Chicagoland area anymore though. I'd like you meet you and buy you a drink. The Route 66 trip with The Carpetbagger was awesome.
Adam, if your near Grissom afb this weekend we should get some icecream.
The soft creem is a Swedich finding mmy friend Adam. My Mom whos grown up in Sweden. So yes I know for schor! Greetings from the Brusselsman with LOVE
Hate to disagree Adam, but Tom Carvel accidentally invented soft serve iced cream when his ice cream truck broke down in 1934 and he was forced to sell his inventory before it completely melted. He opened a soft serve stand at that very location in Hartsdale NY, and was running it by 1937. Tom invented the concept of franchising, and his building design was "borrowed" by Ray Kroc for the original McDonalds franchise stores. Remove the golden arches, add a large neon ice cream cone and you have an original style Carvel Ice Cream store. Ray used to sell Tom the mixers he used to make milkshakes...
I love the Dairy Queens in Texas! Though they are apart of the same company, their burgers are a little different along with some menu items. You will probably find one in every small town!
Great video...Hope you have time to stop by the old Joliet Prison (closed) where the Blues Brothers opening scenes were shot. It is a really old and limestone (I believe) that you can walk up to from the street now that it is closed with the old guard towers. They also announced that the prison will be a haunted house again in the fall 2018
I See a Canadian National On The Bridge
There's a DQ in the town I work that is even older than those two you visited.
4:26 That was to hold a sign that said "styrocream served here"
We have an old Dairy Queen in port coulborne Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Oldest in Canada still in operarion
Theae are my fav type pf vids kinda like hidden stuff and movie locations atw does it best
Kennedy's were the ones started Dairy Queen. he lived in Cleveland Ohio he opened first shop shack on Lakewood heights Blvd. Then opened one in Florida.
DQ still has some of the best ice cream for a fast food place
Joliet reminds me of the Blues Brothers. 😎😎😎
I wish dq had 10 cent all u can eat right now
Adam - being in CA most of your time, you need to visit the first A&W in Lodi, CA
Hi Adam from Bourbonnais IL
U are not to far fm The Carpetbagger's favorite roadside attraction 'The House On The Rock' in Wisconsin. Well worth seeing!!!
ok now I am hungry for ice cream great vid adam
Margaret Thatcher was part of a team responsible for a soft serve ice cream recipe at around the same time
I want a Dq cone so bad right now-but it's a 7 hour drive to the closest one! LoL
13:30 When did they get chocolate? I remember you had to get a chocolate-dipped coating in the past because they didn't have chocolate.
Love this!! Great job!!!
CN rail right behind you!
A lot of places changed their street numbers when the zip codes came out so it's not unusual to have a different address from the 1940's.
ps, if you ever visit my stinky little town you can visit the giant Dairy Queen Ice Cream Cone.
U r very close to Ottawa, very historic town , to name 1 Lincoln Douglas first debate
This place looks familiar...as if Adam visited this place before. 🤔 Regardless, pretty cool place to see where the 1st Dairy Queen took place, & also to see where they 1st made frozen, soft served ice cream from DQ, also. Awesome stuff, man.
Dude if you come to Indiana I want to meet you...I just got to meet mike from NTL vlogs last week
I wonder how fast they set up other stores in other states in 1940?
ADAM GO TO CHICAGO PLZZZ
Could have gone to the museum in town they would have had info on it & remember street names change sometimes
You should legit fright hop one of these days lol
Dairy Queen’s up north say Dairy Queen brazier
Try going to Aurora or Naperville
The first one you went to was the original
Mike alstott formerly of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was from there
I think the first one you went to was the original
It’s like “How did you get to prison?” “Uhhh...I pronounced the name of town wrong too many times...”
If you’re in the Midwest, more specifically in Ohio, even more specifically, in Dayton, be sure to check out the AF Museum:

Joy-let the toilet! You're in town!!!!
Good video :)
Birthplace of Jimmy Chamberlin
New Subscriber! Really enjoyed your video. :D
All you can eat for 10 Cents? Sounds good to me!
Adam, buildings, rather properties, get numbers not doors.
Are you still in Illinois? I live in an Illinoisan Suburb sort of close by.
Where are you travels taking you in Illinois?
fken insurance has taken over everything

June 7, 2018: Did the dog belong to someone or was he abandoned ?
I use to work at Dairy Queen years ago. A few pounds were added during that time lol.
Exploration Unknown me too. Didn't work there very long. But the one thing I remember is making some buffalo chicken tenders and getting some sauce on my finger. I of course I liked it off and regretted it. LOL
Exploration Unknown me too got that job on my 16th birthday
same
I learned something new. I thought Dairy Queen was started in Texas. Lol
wait, someone drove a car into an auto insurance store? now that's funny.
OrlandoThemePark360 I wonder if that guy was insured by them...
OrlandoThemePark360 I bet the driver was like “hey man, can you fudge the paperwork so that my policy started half an hour ago?”
Probably didn't like his payout after an accident
