Amid all the changes in Westport, ice cream seems pretty constant.
But think about it.
The Ice Cream Parlor is long gone. Georgie Porgie’s lasted just a few years.
Our many frozen yogurt places melted away.
Saugatuck Sweets is being replaced by an “artisinal” ice cream shop. (With prices to match, I’m sure.)
And through it all, Carvel has endured.
It’s been here, in the same simple Post Road location, pretty much since ice cream was invented.

If you time traveled from the day this photo was taken, in fact, you’d recognize everything except the cars in front.
Sadly too, the very 1950s ice cream cone on top is gone.
