No one screaming for ice cream
By Julie Pace
10:35 a.m., Lake Wales
There is a very important closure to report in Lake Wales: The Ice Cream Club, a small ice cream shop in the Publix plaza on State Road 60.
Owner Amy Lindblade made the decision to close Tuesday night, when it still looked like there would be heavy rain in Polk County.
She woke up to a different scene today, but says it was probably the right decision.
“Even just with a ton of rain, it’s not good for the ice cream business,” she says.
Lindblade is going to make some calls to her employees to see if they can come in during the afternoon, but because they’re teenagers enjoying their day off of school, she’s not expecting to get many people to come in.
