In fact, this location is the flagship store and it is located in their charming downtown business district...
Now, you may recall we already had ice cream earlier that day but man, that was awhile ago and gosh, it was really hot and we wanted another icy treat.
Inside, there is a railroad track along the top part of the wall with a train that chugs along and even blows it horn. There are booths on the side and a room int he back where they hold shows or demonstrations on how to make ice cream at the "lab".
They had a lot of really good flavors here, some with unique combinations.
At the room in the back, you can look through the window to ice cream being made.
Our ice creams served in old fashioned fluted glassware:
My ice cream (above) was Doc's Java - coffee ice cream with chocolate covered espresso beans.
This one below must have been Bert's and while it looks like vanilla, it probably wasn't vanilla. For the life of me, I can't remember what he had, but maybe it had peanut butter in it or something.
This one is obviously TC's - rainbow sherbet.
Here's some interesting history about this ice cream establishment:
Wow, they have an International Ice Cream for Breakfast Day?

Strangely, I can't find any photos of dinner that night (it must not have been memorable or something) so I'll have to move on to Day 5 of the summer road trip.
