- From my (limited) travels around the USA, I would say that
- New England has more donut and ice cream places per capita
- than anyplace else.
-
- Case in point: Last spring, I was in San Diego and stopped
- at a Mall-ish kind of place near the harbor (International
- Place ?? or something). It was a beautiful, sunny day,
- temps in the high 70s, and I thought: ice cream.
- The only ice cream in the place was a push cart that sold
- Ben and Jerry's ice cream bars. A similar place in
- New England would have had at least one decent ice cream
- shop.
