When I am craving two of my favorite sugary indulgences, ice cream and soda, I like to “experience” them at the The Franklin Fountain, a quaint ice cream shop and soda fountain located in old city Philadelphia.
It was an icy Sunday afternoon as I made my way through the remnants of the weekend snowstorm to a little neighborhood (or should say, Gayborhood) in the heart of Center City. Formally recognized as Midtown Village, the area is situated between 11th Street and S. Broad Street and extends from Chestnut St. all the way down to Pine.
