substituteSwensen's is now a franchise owned by http://www.yogenfruz.com/ who apparently owns all ice cream everywhere.
Someone went and found out a lot about the fate of Farrell's. The Selective Service thing is interesting. Happy birthday to YOU, soldier.
I miss ice cream parlors. It was a neat part of my childhood. Now they just have places where you can buy ice cream and sit on a small hard plastic seat. Not the same.

Original Farrell's ice cream parlor gives way to condo project
The original, and one of the last, Farrell's ice cream parlors has closed its doors.
Chuck and Laurie Tardiff, owners of what for the last 15 years has been known as The Original Portland Ice Cream Parlor, recently sold the building and its land in the inner northeast area of Portland, Ore., to a development group for $2.1 million. The restaurant and ice cream parlor closed early this month, and will make way for a $25 million condominium project.
