Tastee Freeze (Hessville) Date: 03-15-2010 By: SixTGunr	Not sure if this topic has been covered or not but I remember well growing up in the SE corner of Hessville near Cline & Orchard Drive and there used to be three business' along Cline Ave between 177th Street and Orchard Drive (on West side of Cline Ave) .... There used to be a Texaco or Sinclair station at Orchard & Cline (when Cline was a little two lane road) ... Just North of the Texaco station was a Tastee Freeze and just North of the TF there was a little store called the Five Star @ 177th & Cline ... If you continued traveling eastbound on 177th or Orchard Drive crossing Cline you were in the Black Oak section ... I spent a lot of time at the Tastee Freeze and Five Star. Used to walk the Nickel Plate RR Tracks down to those two places. Ah ... the memories.[:)] Six	3
