We received a tweet on Friday alerting us to an accident that occurred at Cold Stone Creamery.
The tweet claimed that someone had driven their automobile into the Cold Stone store and that the store would not be reopening. So I drove past Cold Stone on Saturday morning and found it closed with part of the store boarded up.
However, a sign posted in the window indicated that Cold Stone will only be temporarily closed and that it will be reopening as soon as the damage can be repaired. The sign merely stated that the closing was due to an "accident," but made no mention of whether or not a car was driven through the side of the store.
Commentary: Given the extent of the damage, I have to think it probably was a car — or possibly a runaway elephant who really wanted some peanut butter ice cream — that plowed through the side of Cold Stone. … I wonder if it was the same car that drove through Kim's last fall? Maybe someone just thinks there should be more drive-ins around here. … Maybe someone decided after leaving the store that what they really wanted was a shake. … Maybe their rocky road wasn't rocky enough. … Maybe their … no I'll stop.
