New Ice Cream Shop in Colorado Will Bring ‘Vintage’ Vibes

Where once was a trendy Starbucks Coffee shop, will become a "throwback to simpler times" ice cream parlor. With today's "trying" times, it will be a nice change of place to slow things down for treat.

I like to think of it as a visit to Mayberry, where everyone was generally friendly with one an other; maybe we can all start talking with a southern drawl while getting a scoop or two at this place.

Who doesn't feel better after a little ice cream?
