For us kids and teens, the local ice cream stand was like a roller disco that our parents dropped us off at on Friday nights: it was a highly social time when girly crushes ran wild. We busted out the magenta can of Aqua Net to full on High Hair 80s effect, with lots of bright eye makeup, short shorts, and sequined clothes.
Nowadays, kids may be more sedate, as is apropos with generational cycles, but I couldn't help notice that the stand in town has a steady stream of customers all day long, regardless of the weather outside or the temperatures. That's a steady community presence.
What in your town that brings everyone together?
