Checking out Snookies, Iowa Icon

One of the local news stations started a series called Iowa Icons. One of the shows featured Snookies, a long time ice cream shop in the Beaverdale neighborhood. I knew where it was but hadn't ever tried their treats; Linda and I quickly corrected that oversight. For my first visit, I kept it simple and ordered an ice cream cone; when it arrived, it had a little animal cracker on top, a nice touch.

One of Snookie's unique offerings is the puppy cone... made for puppies. The story is that the owners brought their dog to work. One day, they give him a cone. Soon, they were offering these little treats to owners of visiting dogs. They've been a big hit ever since.
