Ice Cream Social at The Garage

You came, you saw, you sampled ice cream and you made suggestions about what to do with The Garage, our underused venue at 542 Carpenter Lane. Among the ideas: Prepared foods, pet/wellness (converting Across the Way into a café), garden center, bike shop, bar/restaurant, enterprise kitchen, yoga studio and wellness center, vertical indoor farm.

Pictured: Above, a group about to reach discussion critical mass; below, Juniper and her cone concierge, John Paul Gallager; GM Jon Roesser, staffer Molly Ruddell and Mt. Airy manager Rick Spalek are ready to serve; the promise of ice cream is irresistible to potential new members.
