Ice Cream Truck

[TheFugitive]

When the temperatures shot up into the 80's this past week, the nostalgia-laden
musical ice cream truck returned.

You know, the one with the window on the side that drives around the neighborhood
with a speaker or a set of chimes putting out music as it drives along?  Everyone in
the neighborhood would wait for it to come around on warm summer evenings when
I was a kid.

Was a bit surprised to see it, as in a lot of areas they were given the heave-ho long ago
due to noise ordinances.  Okay, that and the local Baskin-Robbins franchisee paying off the
local politicians to zone them out of existence.

Do these still exist in your area, and are they popular?

Another reason why ice cream trucks got the boot were concerns from parents not wanting their kids to blow money on ice cream treat and obesity concerns.
