Ice cream architecture

At first glance, it seems like little more than a concrete block building, an ordinary example of ordinary architecture that probably shouldn’t be worth a first look, let alone a second one.

But here’s the funny thing about the ordinary: it isn’t ordinary at all. Nothing is.

Because even the ordinary has its own story. Or more likely lots of stories.

And we do ourselves good when we take the time to learn what those stories might be.

So we look, read, ask, listen, whatever it takes to peel back the blank layers and feel the knowledge, the history, the spirit that makes everything and anything and anyone worthy of having its story told.

In this case, it’s where an iconic ice cream company has been making memories for thousands for decades.

Not even remotely ordinary.
