Miss Kitty’s Coneys Offering Ice Cream
Locals have craved flavorful ice cream since Tastee Toppers, formerly known as Tastee Freeze, closed. While Subway offered a few flavors and Sonic and McDonald’s offered a few soft serve options, no local eatery served up the ice cream the community craved. Miss Kitty’s Coneys, located on the southeast corner of 6th Avenue and Main Street, excited patrons in the last couple of weeks when they introduced a variety of ice cream flavors. The eatery is open every day of the week except Saturdays.
