It is, however some flaming assortment of trendy weirdos, occasional homeless people, lawyer types, college kids and some vain THOTS. Try to avoid making eye contact them, they could be SJW's or Hillary supporters. You will know by the dull eyes and smug look of self satisfaction. Big warning signs is the brightly colored hair. If you are wearing Trump apparel, you know what to do. Give them the Nicholas Sandmann smirk as they attempt to shout at you then make sure you stop by Hattie Jane's Creamery for some of their fine ice cream.
The ice cream quality is top notch. The variety is not as big as you would expect but they do have a few flavors unique to them (as far as I know). They also have quite an assortment of flavored beverages and ice cream themed drinks, shakes, etc. So many choices, you will feel overwhelmed and spoiled.

I get it, there is a cost associated with a larger cup and I am willing to pay it but the willingness to offer us an alternate solution was lackluster and presented with very poor customer service. We couldn't believe how stumped they were over this.

Long story short...we ended up with the kids asking for the ice cream they had to look at on the way back to the car, melted ice cream all over the back of the car, the locals we were visiting will not be back, and it will not be on my list of to do items as it was this time for our next vacation here.
