Unfortunately Ben and Jerry’s is no longer at Parkway Place Mall. I think Yolo Rollo replaced B&J. But has anybody tried La Michoacana?
Thanks Jackie – I updated that so it should be correct now. I haven’t tried La Michoacana yet but I’ve heard a lot about it!
Kreme Delight in Athens is such a wonderful ice cream place, glad to see them participating in such an event.
