Old-school retro ice cream stands, while not quite as endangered an American species as the Drive-in theater, are nevertheless gradually vanishing from the landscape. May the iconic resonance of the walk-up ice cream stand continue to survive in the 21st century.This one, Cree-Mee, can be found in Stanford, KY and is highly recommended. Last time I was there, I had a banana shake and some french fries that tasted strangely like buttered corn; in other words, amazing.
Cree-Mee was an excellent establishment, but it has been torn down in favor of building a larger building supply store was next door. Another disappearance of wonderful Americana.
ReplyDeleteDamn. That's bad news. Wish I'd known, I would have swooped in and at least saved the giant ice cream cone sign from the bulldozers.
ReplyDeleteA guy in town got the signs and one of the booths, but he's not willing to part whatsoever.
