Cool Cone ice cream shop, near my office in Belleville, Michigan. Sort of an independent version of Dairy Queen, I guess. Taken in the midst of a persistent winter snowfall, with building closed for the season. Loved the contrast of product versus environment; at the same time, imagining how welcome this image would be in the heat of summer business, customers lined up for whatever cool they could get here.
