Whatever happened to ice cream parlors?

[substitute]

Swensen'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.

the toppings are also cursed

there are a few places in the bay area that claim to sell Farrell's ice cream. i used to go to Swensen's all the time when i was a kid; i loved going there for lunch with my grandparents and getting bubble gum ice cream for dessert. the last few times i was out by their place i looked for that old Swensen's, but it's gone.

another popular one out here - and in Hawaii - is Mitchell's.

now i want ice cream, dammit.
