YOU CAN’T KEEP A GOOD ICE CREAM MAN DOWN

Friday, August 20th, 2010

It’s said that the higher-than-average incidence of gloomy weather in Seattle, Washington creates a higher-than-average incidence of gloomy residents. Sure, you can blame it on the rain, but you can also blame it on the fact that ice cream trucks are illegal in Seattle.

That’s right. Due to laws against selling food from the road, the magical trucks with the happy music and delicious frozen treats are prohibited from roving the streets and distributing their pick-me-ups to hungry children and adults. But that may soon change according to a Seattle Times article, as city planners consider relaxing the restriction against food vendors. That’s great news! Who wants a bomb pop?

No word on how well behaved the seagulls are at this particular beach.
