This Tastee Freez looks like one of the original locations of this nationwide chain. Check out the coloring on the side facade. Makes the thirsty traveler long for some soft serve ice cream. 11-00

When you think of ice cream cakes, do you think of Carvel? If not, I guess their advertising campaign didn't pay off. But if you do, here's a photo of one of the Carvel Ice Cream Stands. Carvel got its start in Hartsdale, NY and is similar to a Dairy Queen without the hot food with soft serve and cakes a specialty. Many thanks to Louis Di Fazio for photos and info.
