Special thanks to Scottsdale and Tempe historic preservation commissioner, John Southard, for finding this old article regarding the Polynesian Dairy Queen. Ralph Haver ‘s office is credited with the design of Polynesian Plaza, and is also believed to have designed the Polynesian Dairy Queen, as an addition to Polynesian Plaza.

Special thanks to John Southard, historic preservation commissioner for the city of Scottsdale (and Tempe), for finding an original certificate of occupancy for the Polynesian Dairy Queen in Scottsdale, AZ, which shows that it was even referred to as the Polynesian Dairy Queen back in 1965. I knew that the a-frame building was once a Dairy Queen, but I would soon find out it was actually built as the “Polynesian Dairy Queen”. Take a look at eCombabes price if you want to start launching your online shop. Now, it sits vacant again and awaits demolition to make way for a storage facility, which will belong to a neighboring business. First a rental car business (Enterprise), then an RV business (Scottsdale RV). The A-frame sat vacant for years before various businesses started leasing the building. The plaza was demolished in the 1990s, but the little A-frame remained. I started digging into 1960s history in the surrounding area and I found out that there used to be a shopping center called Polynesian Plaza right at 68th St. and McDowell was Polynesian-themed shopping, restaurants and condominiums. I happened to be researching a listing in Polynesian Paradise, which is located directly behind the A-frame.

This is the current state of the Polynesian Dairy Queen as of September 8th, 2018. UPDATE: THE POLYNESIAN DAIRY QUEEN HAS BEEN DISMANTLED AND WILL BE RE-IMAGINED IN ITS NEW LOCATION IN THE SHOPPING CENTER AT 3213 N. The building is going to be demolished unless someone steps forward to help move it from its current location. I have driven past the a-frame for years, but I didn’t know much about its history until early 2018. Police said tips and information can be left anonymously.If you are from around here, you likely know the little A-frame building on the South side of McDowell, just West of 68th St. In all seriousness, if anyone knows the identity of the woman or have any information about the case, please call CPD Detective Ryan Linneweber at 81. This probably explains why you stopped for some Starbucks and used the stolen card again before you left the store.”ĬPD followed up by saying, “If you would like to swing by and talk to our detectives about how you then used that stolen credit card to purchase lunch at Dairy Queen after you finished at Target I’m sure they would love to hear all about it. Police sarcastically said in the post, “We totally understand that racking up over $800 on a credit card that doesn’t belong to you can make you thirsty. The Columbus Police Department (CPD) posted on Facebook in an effort to get the public’s help in finding a female suspect who allegedly stole a wallet with credit cards and went on an $800 shopping spree at Target in January. Columbus police took some not-so-subtle jabs at a woman suspected of stealing credit cards and paying for her Starbucks coffee and Dairy Queen lunch on Tuesday.
