This old-style walk-up soft-serve parlor was in Bishopville, on the north side of town near the high school stadium. I would pass by it several times a year on the way to family events, and always meant to stop some time or other, but the way it always worked out is that I was not alone, running late, or both.<\/p>\n

I first noticed that it seemed to be closed on my way to Thanksgiving 2008, and finally got around to taking some pictures in March of 2009. It was a beautiful sunny day, and I had no qualms about heading out on I-20 with a camera and some good music. According to their sign, the place had been there more than 50 years, which I have to say is a pretyt good run.<\/p>\n

Going by this last month for Thanksgiving, I saw that now all the signage is down, and the building is just sitting there empty with no indication of what it was.<\/p>\n

UPDATE<\/b>: Looks like there's a Facebook Group<\/a>..<\/p>\n

UPDATE 23 December 2011<\/b> -- Well, as these 24 November 2011 (Thanksgiving) pix show, the building is gone now.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 24 December 2011<\/b> -- Oops! Building is still there, but boarded up. The pix were of a lot with a gas station destroyed by Hugo, so I've taken them out. I'll try to get the real thing next time I'm over there. (Didn't have my camera ready today..)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
