Filed Under neighborhood marketing, traffic | Leave a Comment
Road rage, flat tires, skewed alignments aside…for once let’s all enjoy a “Nicollet Pothole”— the Kingfield 2009 Specialty flavor created and mixed for KFNA by our favorite local confectionary, Sebastian Joes!
Enjoy dark chocolate ice cream with a dash of salt (sea, not road!), a covering of caramel, holes of fudge, and a heavy gravel of toffee chunks. A ride on one of the worst roads in Minneapolis with one of the best ice creams you’ll ever taste!
Biked to all registered Kingfield Block Parties only on August 4 by your non-profit neighborhood association representatives!
