(Circling the area looking for a parking space gave me good practice for when baseball season begins.) Unfortunately, this store wasn't selling The Dinger and the clerk was clueless as to what I was talking about. I assume that eventually this will be sold at <B>all</B> Giffords' stores in the Washington area, though...Edward J.

Growing up in suburban NY, we had Carvel's, whose spokesman was a gravelly voiced man, Tom Carvel, who did his own TV spots. They were so amateurish that they were charming, and the ice cream and ice cream cakes in his stores were terrific. You have brought back a lot of great memories!<BR/><BR/>I propose everyone go for a Dinger during a game when the Nats take the lead with their own dinger.paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15683734720896529408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-50137435256016618542008-01-25T15:32:00.000-05:002008-01-25T15:32:00.000-05:00Having grown up in Falls Church, I have many memor...Having grown up in Falls Church, I have many memories of going to the Gifford's on Lee Highway in Arlington. It was just a few blocks south/west of the intersection with Harrison Street. My parents took my siblings and me there after every Kindergarten graduation, first communion, school play or band concert, etc. My most vivid memories are of how crowded, noisy, and cold it was inside that place. But we all loved going there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-12961636376293146532008-01-25T12:31:00.000-05:002008-01-25T12:31:00.000-05:00Ice cream when the temp is 25 degrees?

Or, maybe the Lerner's own a piece of Giffords? That would explain it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-67714458638225214242008-01-25T09:04:00.000-05:002008-01-25T09:04:00.000-05:00Great story Jeff.
