May 31, 2017: Cole’s in Slater sold more than ice cream. (Yup, I happened to have a photo.)
Cole’s ice cream shop, a little eating place in Slater at the corner of IA 210 and R38, burned down this weekend. Story: Tri-County Times via Ames Tribune.
The story says the owner named the place after his son, who died fighting in Iraq.
WHO says an insurance dispute means the owner will have to pay to get the place going again.
