sprite/IMGoph: The Dupont location has been open for two or three weeks now. They had some sort of serious plumbing issue, I believe. Plus the movie theater being sold probably didn't help move their reopening very much.

Got my scoop but I picked the wrong time to go - just after schools let out. The line was really long but moved quickly.

thanks for noting where you got your scoop, cchurches. i had no idea there was one so close to my sad, lonely office. damn. i read it too late to save me from ascetically holing up at my desk with a cup-o'-soup.

Just got my scoop at the Old Post Office building...line moves quickly and free ice cream tastes better! wish I'd read the new flavors before going over 'cuz it would have been fun to try them...there's still time!

Hmmm, I was thinking of having an after-lunch scoop, but from Tysons, I'm nearly 15 miles equidistant to four locations: Reston, Fairfax, Georgetown, and (farthest) Alexandria. None are an easy trip. Sigh. Have a chocolate chip cookie dough cone for me.

I never get anything other than chocolate at Ben and Jerry's (or anywhere for that matter), that way I'm never disappointed.
