Description
C. 1950, Sid C. Dorris (1913-1988) razed a mill that was on the parcel and built a franchised location of "Dairy Dip", which was a popular chain at the time. Years later, c. 1986, "Lee" McWright (unknown-n/a) and Bobbie Jean Meadows McWright (1938-2013) attempted to purchase the Dairy Dip and make it their own, renaming it in the process. Not long after, they were temporarily dragged into a legal battle where someone attempted to seize the property back, saying it had been wrongfully sold to the person they bought it from. In 1998, they closed the Dairy Dip and put it for rent. In 1999, a tenant reopened the Dairy Dip for a few short months before it closed again, and in 1999, yet another new tenant opened it up again, eventually buying the property herself.
