I thought they were called snowballs.
I guess it's the heat. Hawker has known this for a while and just forgot to post about it!
A tipster reminded me:
Rita's Water Ice is coming to Hampden. (The website says coming soon.) I know it's a chain, but it seems like they might do well in Hampden & Hawker's not going to pretend that she hasn't had a Rita's in her life. Plus, it's not on The Avenue. (Hawker is a firm supporter of Indy Hampden--a move to protect independent businesses on The Avenue.) They're taking the spot next to the dry cleaner's at 41st & Falls. The sign is up and they are clearly preparing the interior space as shown by equipment, ladders, and such.

Water Ice and snowballs are different. Water ice is what we call Italian ice in Delaware and Philadelphia. Maybe parts of New Jersey, too?
Good Job!: )
rita's truly does sell happiness. i for one am all for it.
Yay! Chains!
CUSTARD!
a few established chains might actually help the indies actually stay in business
maaaaaaaaaaaango
OH MY GOD! I was just thinking to myself the other day how well a Rita's would do in Hampden!
Yeah, when I first moved to Philly from NY I was like, um, "Ice is water and water is ice, so what the hell is water ice?" Yum.
