Kay's Ice Cream
Husband and I took our daughter out to Kay's Ice Cream in South Knoxville on Saturday just for fun. Our son had a sleep-over and birthday party with a friend. So...the three of us decided to do something a little different. We had hamburgers & french fries, and daughter had a hot dog and a rainbow-swirled ice cream cone. The old-fashioned-grill/diner kind of food! We're already planning a return visit, and next time we'll take our son along too!

"With gratitude and great pleasure I would like to pass the award to these photography bloggers:
Hope of Knoxville Daily Photo. Hope can squeeze images out of her Nikon Coolpix that will astonish you. The photographs of her kids capture the essence of childhood and a mother's love with the same poignancy and joy of the paintings of Mary Cassatt..."

The sign even looks old fashioned. I'll take a waffle cone of chocolate chip cookie dough please...two scoops, I would take three but I am on a diet.
Hi Jim,
Actually, the sign is very old! Kay's Ice Cream shops have been around for decades. This is the only remaining one in Knoxville. There used to be a figure of a little boy climbing that ladder trying to reach the ice cream!
Oh I love that kind of food! And that sign is cool. So what happened to the little boy on the ladder?
Isn't it fun to have one on one time with the kids?!
I'm not really sure what happened to the "little boy" climbing the ladder....the sign is so very old that I guess that part of the sign wasn't safe anymore....that he might fall to the ground and hurt someone.
Yes...it is fun to have one-on-one time with the kids individually. We try to do that as often as possible.
That little boy probably disappeared to that place where all the "big boys" at JB restaurants in our part of the country went. We miss them!
Frighteningly, I could probably eat that big an ice cream cone. I'm an ice cream junkie, help me!
LOL, Knoxville Girl! I'm the same way. This is my 3rd post involving an ice cream shop in Knoxville! I've posted a photo from Bruster's, Twisters, and now Kay's. Too bad Mayfield Dairy is so far away in Athens, TN....or I'd post a photo from there. Our family has gone on the dairy tour, of course!
love it! is this an old or new business?
Hi Ken Mac! I knew you would like this sign....I was hoping you would visit my blog today!
This is an old business! It's the last of the Kay's Ice Cream shops in Knoxville. At one time there were several Kay's throughout the area. This shop has been around for as long as I remember....and well, I'm in my forties.
Mind you, only the business is old.
Not me! I have 2 young children to raise....and they definitely keep me young.
I am with tanya....love that kind of food and the sign is awesome...your spot in the world looks fabulous...thanks for visiting...I love the fisherman sculpture too!
Looks so good! I'd love to go! The colorful ice cream matches the colorful dress!
I wish I were there...
They just don't make signs like they used too.
Oh my... I sound like my dad!
:-)
Eric...LOL! The older I get (in my 40's) I become more and more like my parents. Sigh. Not such a bad thing , though, really. :)
