Gold Top Dairy Bar — Restaurant in Green Township

People who are from Colerain/Mt Airy will remember that originally Gold Top was one of two competing ice cream shops in the neighborhood. Gold Top and Eat-N-Treat.

I happened to be in the area for the first time in years, and as I came upon the the big yellow A-frame roof while driving I immediately pulled in to the parking lot to give it a go.
