Fire at Fifty Licks

Dear Liza,

One of our favorite ice cream places, Fifty Licks, had a terrible fire on Friday. The fire started in the basement, climbed through the walls, and pretty much destroyed the inside of the shop.

As soon as we read about it in the news, we headed over to help.

We were sad to see the lovely interior torn up and smoky. It had just been remodeled last year after being shut for a long time after the pandemic. Once the fire was out, Owner Chad Draizin and his crew took matters into their own hands. They parked the ice cream truck in the car bay at Burnside Collision next door, and were serving up six of their delicious flavors.

We were happy to see so many people coming by, having read about the fire, to support this local business with sales and tips.

Get well soon, Fifty Licks!

Love,

Grandma Judy
