Was interesting to pursue this waymark category as my wife recalled going to this location some in the 1990's. We're both from Indiana, thus remember visiting Burger Chef growing up.
The street address given in this lisitng (http://www.thebawdycloister.com/burger_chef_locations/tennessee/) DOES NOT appear to match up with the 1955 vintage picture (http://freepages.college-alumni.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~whitetwp/wpe305.jpg) and the comment that it might be a Dairy Queen now. The DQ is at 819 Lynn Garden Drive, so maybe a 822 address is correct. The DQ is Waymark WM4X98. The default picture for the DQ. I wish I had taken a photo from the same place as the 1955 shot, as to show the rounded street corner for Truxton (the old main drag) merging into Lynn Garden Drive (the new main road into this neighborhood). 802 Lynn Garden appears to be across the street from the Days Inn hotel, which does not match up with the 1955 photo background.
What is the street address of this location: 802 (822?) Lynn Garden Drive
What is this Burger Chef used as today?: Dairy Queen
