Dairy Supreme
Few things compare to the simple joy of a treat from Dairy Supreme in Edinboro, Pa. A small eat-outside ice-cream stand, the place, I believe, has not changed in 20 years (if only I had a photograph), and its humming, yellow fluorescent lights still illuminate the green wire picnic benches and college students waiting to order hot dogs and ice-cream cones. It's difficult to describe the nostalgia and simplicity of Dairy Supreme to those unfamiliar with Edinboro in the spring and summer, but for those who have experienced it, you'll understand the twinge of jealousy I felt when I received a text message from Siobhan and Pudlak, who have just partaken in my favorite Dairy Supreme combo: deep-fried cheddar cheese-balls and a homemade chocolate milkshake.
