domino's/Mr. Quick


 

Did a lot of research on the old place.? What's happening with the old atomic sign?? Would be a shame to lose it.

Hello Catherine,

The great news is that the sign was recently rescued by the Tucson Historic Preservation Foundation after Domino's decided not to restore the sign.? This is just another example of all the hard work that the THPF does quietly behind the scenes every single day.? People can support the Foundation in many way.? Become a member, donate, volunteer, or just but a ticket to one of their many events.? I post some of the events here, but there are lots more....

?

The best photos of Mr. Quick are in the Drive In album, but they are of the restaurant formerly on Oracle.? Always looking for vintage shots of the South 6th location at Southgate. I believe that the only part of the exterior that wasn't glass was sheathed in red porcelain enamel.? Nice.

?

Thanks,


Carlos

Wonderful news!!? Thanks Carlos!? That place has a very special place in the hearts of my husband and I since it was my research on it that brought him into my life a few years back.? I had sent the information to a now closed website on Mr. Quick's and some other drive-ins and my husband found it after seeing an article in the paper about the old place.? he contacted me through Facebook, and well, the rest is history!? We had talked to the real estate folks about the possibility of renting it out for our bride/groom shower, but due to legalities, it wasn't allowed.? I'm glad the building has found new owners and that the sign will continue on :)? Thanks THPF!
