Where can I find that Ice Cream Truck?

by Dave Atkins

According to this article on boston.com/yourtown, Westwood has approved the first ice cream truck permit in 25 years.The truck will be somewhere in town but not on Canton, Clabboardtree, Gay, Nahatan, Pond, Oak, High, Washington, Hartford, or Everett streets. Perhaps the truck can make it up East Street to School, Pine...then loop around Webster, Parker and Cobleigh before heading back out Pine. Then, back out East to swing by Smith, Downey, etc. Then, go to Norwood and re-approach from Nahatan to enter the Maze. Then back out again to come in from Dover on Dover Road? That's a lot of driving to sell a few ice cream cones.

The restrictions are because of the tragic death of a boy 25 years ago. Wouldn't it be great if those same restricted streets could be applied to the use of cell phones? Wouldn't it be great if our streets were safe enough that everyone felt comfortable letting their kids ride their bikes to Bubbling Brook or Cold Stone?

Ice Cream truck in the maze neighborhood

We heard the music and knew the ice cream truck had finally arrived... it was going around our neighborhood yesterday afternoon.  Not sure how business was... didn't see anyone on our street buying.

music?

Interesting...not supposed to be playing the music :( - part of the rules/reglations/conditions
