What’s Up in the Neighborhood, February 13 2021

Before I get started with today’s blog post, i want to share a nice piece of news. The Jericho Drive-In has opened their Twist Ice Cream Shoppe for the 2021 season, and IMHO, they serve the best home-made ice cream (and Dole whip) in the Capital Region. Oh, and check out their website. You might recognize the photo on the splash page. Yeah. Big smiles from Chuck.
