Bonnie Doon Ice Cream,<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mishawaka, IN<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In 1938 Bonnie Doon Ice Cream was established and eventually grew into a local chain of drive-in Ice Cream shops and restaurants. The first business was located on 4th Street, in Mishawaka, Indiana.<\/p>\n

I had painted one of the other Bonnie Doon drive-ins, located on S. Michigan St, in South Bend, IN and the painting was on display at\u00a0 local Art show, when a couple approached me to paint the 4th Street Ice Cream Shop.\u00a0 They used to date when they were young and\u00a0that was their favorite date place.\u00a0 I painted the building as it looked at that time, putting their Studebaker in the painting.<\/p>\n

The building was also the factory for making the ice cream for the other stores.\u00a0 It now sits empty, as the store closed a couple of years ago.\u00a0 Only one store remains, which was purchased several years ago.\u00a0 Bonnie Doon eventually entered the local retail market with a variety of flavors.<\/p>\n

Here the other Bonnie Doon paintings I have painted: Bonnie Doon, US-31 North, South Bend<\/a>; Bonnie Doon, S. Michigan St., South Bend<\/a>; Bonnie Doon on Lincolnway West in Mishawaka;<\/a>\u00a0Bonnie Doon on 4th St. Mishawaka in the 1950s.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
