    Default How many ice cream trucks do we need here??

    I SWEAR we get about 3 trucks down our street a day. I'm guessing business must be good or they wouldn't waste the gas. The music can get a bit maddening sometimes!

    I haven't seen a single ice cream truck down our street this year.

    Although during the end of the school year, there's one that parks at the end of the street where all the school's converge. Annoys me to no end....tempting kids like that when they know their parents aren't there. JMHO though.

    We used to have one here in our small town, but I haven't seen it in a while. I would think that 3 is overkill, alright.

    I live in an apartment complex and daily (sometimes twice in the summer) there is a guy riding through on a tricycle with an ice cream freezer attatched to the front ringing his darn bell. He seems to only come through during my little one's nap time. When we first moved here I let my boys get an ice cream, but never since. His prices are beyond ridiculous.

    I living in a very large apartment community with lots of children. My complaint about the ice cream man is that he drives through here way too fast. That guys an accident waiting to happen and tragically it's going to involve a child. He doesn't have many customers though -- he speeds through here so fast I don't think kids even have a chance to get their money and get outside.
