A Sad Day for the Ice Cream Lovers

On Monday October 15th the world of Ottawa lost a good store when the only Ben & Jerry's, at Billings Bridge, closed down for good after less than 2 years of life. It was a sudden closing, not even giving enough time for anyone to stop by for a last cone or milkshake. By Thursday all that was left of the poor store was 2 pipes sticking out of the floor. There are plans to reopen, but no definate location. Until then we shall mourn the loss of such a great store (with awesome staff who always had good discounts for us) and we shall have to be content consoling ourselves with over-priced store bought pints.
