Originally Posted By mousermerf Um.. way to be far-far behind the news? The Edy's Ice cream shop has been open and operating for two weeks.

It features ice cream in cones, sundaes, shakes, and floats. Even ice cream sandwiches with your choice of ice cream between two fresh baked cookies. Everything but the sundaes are on the Dining Plan. Also, they're removing the paint from the canopies around the metal bases and connection points because they're going to take those semi-cylindrical things down.

Originally Posted By mousermerf The CM's were probably burnt out. The location has been more popular then expected, and pretty much every CM is working at 110% to keep the place operating with extra hours and extended shifts and such.
Originally Posted By nbodyhome I had heard that they were possibly working more, I'd probably be crabby too. I don't know why they wouldn't expect the location to be popular - the place was always busy before (not sure why it shut down to begin with, except for possibly lack of staff). Denise

Originally Posted By nbodyhome It actually wasn't busy when we were there, to me it's sort of hard to notice. Like I passed right by it the week before, not realizing it had ice cream. Denise

Originally Posted By nbodyhome I have pictures of the ice cream, but I'm sure you know that. I also bet you could care less about Edy's at the Fountainview (because really, it was better as a bakery). Edy's is over at the Land, so they are totally redundant there!
